Tough Tuesday Workout: March 12, 2013

Today's workout was super tough.  I took some ideas from the dailyhiit.com so I could use my super awesome new gymboss that I had ordered on Amazon.This workout combined a super tough cardio interval (that had pushups to help with no weight toning) with some sculpt moves with weights to really tone the arms and legs. You'll be burning calories long after the workout is over. Below is the breakdown. You'll need a a bar with heavy weights on either end, a stretchy band, and a mat.

Super Fun for Making Sure You Hiit Those Intervals!

We started with our regular warmup - jog, jack and jump rope (The 3 J's) and then walk out pushups (5) and stretches and some light (no weights) lunges and squats. Then we took the intensity up a lot . This class must have been tough because the members I had in the class were telling me in spin the next morning how tired they were and how there shoulders were burning.  

Burpee circuit - included 5 exercises that we did for 50 sec on/10 off for 2 rounds
