Today’s…
Cardio Round 1…
Weights Round 1…
The first round of weights will compose of 4 different exercises. We will be putting a lot of focus on barbell bench press. You should gradually increase the weight throughout this exercise, since the number of reps goes down. Some of the exercises you can either use dumbbell or barbell so that is totally up to you. Be sure to isolate the muscles for the best results. Try to minimize the amount of time you rest in between each set as well. This will increase the overall intensity of the workout.
Cardio Round 2…
For our second round of cardio we are going to do a HIIT treadmill run. We will start off with a light 1 minute jog and then ramp up the intensity for 30 seconds, then bring it back down to a jog. We will do this for a total of 3 times, then end it with a 3 minute cool down jog.
Wights Round 2…
The second round of weights we will be using cables for some of the exercises. Will we be focusing on 3 exercises, all for a total of 4 sets for 10 reps each.
