Fitness Friday

I want to hear from you. What do you want to see from me?

While you think about it, get your booty off that chair and try this workout:

CIRCUIT # 1
This circuit will consist of 2 exercises performed back to back for 10 minutes.
Exercise # 1 – Standing Cable Row http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRCCPApoWU0 – 1 or 2 arm – perform 15-40 reps per arm per set – and remember...little to no rest between sets
Exercise # 2 – Step-Ups...I can't believe I am giving you a video for this, but ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLGKFwQWyCk – 15-60 reps per leg per set using bodyweight only (reduce the height of the step to make the 15 rep minimum)
For each exercise, select a weight that will allow you to perform the required repetitions with good form
Each set will consist of between 15 and 60 repetitions (if you can’t get 15 reps, lower the weight)
*REST 2 to 5 MINUTES and then move onto the next superset
