Pick Them Up and Put Them Down


I'm not sure where the myth started - but it needs to stop!  Women - if you lift weights you will not bulk up!  You're not lifting, eating or training like a body builder so your results will not be the same.  So stop using that as an excuse to do cardio all the time.  There is such a thing as being SKINNY FAT!  Muscle will create a leaner and tighter body as well as burn fat even while you are at rest.  So make sure you are strength training each body part at least 2x per week.  If you are following my blog - you are on track!

Warm up for a few minutes before starting.

Quick Cardio - go thru the circuit 3x
25 Squat Jumps
50 High Knees
30 Standing Bicycles
25 Plank Jacks
50 Mountain Climbers
30 Double Crunch - bent leg reverse crunch and regular upper body crunch at the same time
25 Plank Jumps over Ball - in pushup position, both feet on one side of ball, jump both feet to the other side
50 Jump Lunges
30 V-Up Tri-Set - 10 left side, 10 middle, 10 right

Now go and lift - Chest and Back - located in the STRENGTH TRAINING CIRCUIT tab to the right.  And try going up on your weight on at least ONE of the exercises.


TRAIN WITH INTENTION!
