Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a 40 minute back and shoulder workout. This workout is perfect if you are in a hurry and do not have much time for a workout but still want to get a good pump in. 

Cardio Round 1…

For the first round of cardio we are going to do a 12-minute run to get the body loosened up and to also elevate your rate rate. This will increase the blood flow throughout the body. For the last 3 minutes, increase the speed 1 mph and challenge yourself! 

Weights… 

For this workout we will only be doing 1 round of weights but we will superset all sets with another exercise. You should be able to crank out 8 exercises in about 20 minutes or so. Most of the work will be with dumbbell besides the last set which will be done with cables. 

Abs…

For abs today we are going to do something different. We will be doing a 5 minute plank routine. Since you will be changing moves through the 5 minutes it will be easier than you think. Try to get all the way through it without having to take a break! 

 

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.
