Toned, beautiful shoulders

Finally got into the gym tonight and hit my shoulders hard. I always struggle with shoulder workouts because I broke my left shoulder awhile back and now there are some ongoing issues. Long story short, it is weaker and gets fatigued a lot faster; therefore requires more push and more work. Even with the struggles I continue to push through.

Here's the workout I did:

Reverse rear flies - 4 sets of 15
Barbell military press - 4 sets of 15
Front lateral raise - 4 sets of 15
Side lateral raise - 4 sets of 15
Standing shoulder press - 4 sets of 15

I also added:

Bicep curls 5 sets of 15
Tricep dips - 3 sets of 15

Then I finished my workout with one mile on the treadmill. I jogged half a mile, walked a quarter of a mile, then sprinted the last quarter. It felt great! I love those high intensity runs. HIIT (high intensity interval training) works better and is the most effective at burning fat fast rather then jogging at the same continuous speed.

My shoulders are definitely feeling it, but they needed it.

This is the new protein powder I got and I highly recommend it.
It has worked really well for me, and the flavor (chocolate mint) is amazing! It not only tastes great, it helps curb my cravings for sweets.  

After my workout I drank my protein shake, then I made myself a protein pancake (the recipe is in an older post). To keep you metabolism working throughout the night it is best to eat slow digesting foods. A few examples of these are: Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and oatmeal.  Those are usually the options I pick from. And remember, lots of water!
