Today’s…

workout of the day, we are going to be doing a dumbbell back and shoulder workout to change it up from traditional barbell work.

Cardio Round 1…

To start off the workout, we are going to do stairmaster for a total of 10 minutes. This is to get the blood flowing and to get you in the right mindset for the workout ahead. This is the most important part of any workout as it sets the tempo. 

Weights Round 1…

 
The first round of weights we will be using all dumbbells and will do a 12 rep based circuit. There will be a total of 4 rounds, and once you have completed one round, take a 30 second break before starting the next one. This should be done at a fast pace. 

Cardio Round 2…

For our second round of cardio we are going to hit the bike for another 10 minutes. This is to keep the body warmed and the heart rate up. We also wanted to change it up from the normal treadmill routine to give our knees a break. 

Weights Round 2…

The second round of weights is going to be like the first. We are going to be doing 4 rounds of 4 exercises, all at 12 reps a piece. This is going to keep the intensity of the workout high. 

Abs…

To end the workout, we are going to do a 3 round time based ab circuit. Each round will be made up of 4 exercises, doing each exercise for 30 seconds. Add weight to these exercises to increase the intensity. 

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.
