Get Stronger with this 50 Minute Heavy Chest Workout.
Today’s…
Cardio Round 1…
For today’s cardio, we are going to be doing a 1 mile warmup run on the treadmill. As you progress, crank up the tempo by increasing the speed or incline. This is a great way to get your heart rate up and the blood flowing. If it is nice outside, feel free to substitute this with a 10 minute run outside instead.
Circuit…
After barbell bench press, we will then do a 4 round 4 exercise circuit to get our heart rate up and to work on muscle endurance. Take about a 30 second to a minute break after each round and drink plenty of water!
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.
