Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing an arm workout for lean muscle gain by increasing the amount of reps we do and by incorporating supersets into our workout. 

Cardio Round 1…

To start off the workout, we are going to do a HIIT treadmill run to get our body warmed up. We will start off with a light jog and than gradually increase it over the next 4 and half minutes. Once you have hit your max speed, we will walk it out for 30 seconds.

Weights…
 
In today’s workout, there is only going to be 1 round of weights which will be made up of 8 different exercises. We will hit both dumbbells and cables for today’s workout. We will have some supersets throughout but if you want to superset more of the exercises to make it go by faster and keep the intensity up, feel free to do so! 

Cardio Round 2…

For our second round of cardio we are going to be doing the same cardio that we did to start off the workout. This should be a good way to workout the lactic acid within your arms to help with muscle soreness. 

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.
