Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a high intensity chest circuit workout.  

Cardio Round 1…

The first round of cardio we will be on the treadmill. Start it off with a walk then into a jog. After a few minutes we will start our interval running. This is to get the body warmed up and to get the blood flowing. If you are unable to run a mile, do a incline walk instead. 

Weights…

We will only be doing one round of weights today. To start it off, we will do barbell bench super-set with bench dips. There are a total of 9 exercises and some super-sets mixed in. When you super-set exercises, that means you immediately do the second exercise once you have finished the first. 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 the stairmaster for 8 minutes. Make this as intense as you want. This is designed to keep the overall intensity of the workout up.

Abs…

We will end our workout with abs. I have been incorporating weight into my exercises, so feel free to do the same and challenge yourself. 

Stretch!

To end the workout, stretch out those muscles to prevent soreness and injury. Recovery is the most important part after working out, so make sure to take care of your body and it will take care of you. Stretch it out for a total of 10 – 15 minutes depending on how much time you have.

Less Intense Version:

 The goal with the less intense versions is to scale the workout back so someone who might just be starting to workout would be able to complete the workouts. If you find the less intense versions becoming too easy for you, but you cannot still do the full tailored option, I would suggest doing a mix of the 2. The best way to see results is to challenge yourself each and every day.
