I love working-out! I love not only the results it brings, but I love the way it makes me feel and the fact that I’m doing something good for my body. I get bored with my work-outs pretty easy so I’m always changing them up. I’m quite the gym rat.. I love weight lifting! Occasionally I do cardio, but when I do it is either Tabata training or Kickboxing. Weight lifting is the best in my humble opinion 
Right now I’m focusing on putting on more muscle so I’m lifting 5-6 days a week. I lift heavy weights.. no girly push ups for this girl!
I don’t do much cardio.. it really isn’t necessary to stay lean when lifting heavy and keeping tabs on your diet!
Love Tabata Sessions!

Hey April!
Loving the blog as always.
Can you help me? I am currently eating at a defecit (around 1500kcal.day) in order to lose some fat and inches.
I am doing a 3 x week full body weights with 3 x cardio on other days (1x45min spin, 2×20-30 min HIIT).
However I am thinking of doing something more like what you do, since I supposed since I am eating at a defecit I am in no danger of getting ‘big’ and so I can conquer my fear of getting bulky (which is silly I know).
So do you think a split program is right for someone looking to be literally smaller? And, can I follow YOUR program online, or is that more tailored to grow, since I know you are trying to put ON muscle?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Jilly, I would not copy my workouts/program as it’s very high volume and not really suitable for most people. I would tailor it to your own needs and body!
No workout is tailored specifically to building either. Lifting heavy should be a priority no matter what!
