Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a back and shoulder workout which should target all of your back and shoulder muscles. Since we won’t be spending that much time doing cardio today, make sure you put your all into it. 

Cardio Round 1…

To start off the workout, we are going to do a quick 5 minute HIIT treadmill run. We will do a 1 minute jog, followed by increasing the speed 1 mph for 1 minute, doing this 2 more times before bringing it back down to a jog for 1 minute. This cardio is designed to get your body ready for the workout, so even if you don’t want to do the speed progression on the treadmill, do something that will get your body warmed up. 

Weights Round 1…

 
In today’s workout, the first round of weights is going to be a HIIT circuit composing of 4 different exercises for 12 reps each, followed by a 30 second rest. This will keep the intensity of the workout high along with your heart rate. 

Cardio Round 2…

Our mid workout cardio is going to be a 5 minute stairmaster. Since we are only doing it for 5 minutes, challenge yourself and crank up the intensity! 

Weights Round 2…

The second round of weights we will be using cables to change up the resistance from what we usually do. We will do 4 exercises here for 12 reps a piece. This round of weights is not setup in a circuit, but if you want to get more out of your workout, then turn it into a circuit like the first round!

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.
