Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a bicep and tricep burnout circuit! This workout is a little bit different than what we have been doing. Instead of reps, we are going to focus on time! 

Cardio Round 1…

To get the workout started get on the treadmill and run for 10 minutes at a 2.5% incline. This is a great way to get the body warmed before your workout. 

Weights Round 1…
 
The first round of weights we will be using some dumbbells and the curl bar machine to get the blood flowing in our arms. The first round will be 3 sets of 4 different exercises. The twist for this week is to do each exercise for 20 seconds rather than focusing on reps. 

Cardio Round 2…

To break up the workout I always think it is a good idea to get another round of cardio in. This will help keep your heart rate up and also keep up the intensity of the workout. Grab a bike or treadmill and go for 8 minutes. Start off with doing it at a medium intensity level and then crank it up to a higher intensity to finish it out. 

Weights Round 2…

The next round of weights will be using cables and will be just like the first round of weights. There will be 3 rounds of 4 different exercises, and you will be doing the exercise for 20 seconds each. 

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.
