Make It A Habit


Exercising may not be your favorite habit...but it should become one.  A daily habit.  

You've got 4 circuits in today's workout.  The first is a quick cardio routine - then you move on to your strength training moves.  Make sure you warm-up before starting.

15 Hammer Grip Curl/Press/Overhead Tricep Extension - palms face each other the entire time - perform a hammer curl - then push the weight up into an overhead press, then drop them behind your head for your tricep extension - return to start by reversing all three moves
