Fitness Friday: Lung Busting Full Body Workout

Happy Fitness Friday!! Instead of nagging you about form this week, I?m instead sharing a new workout. It?s ?intermediate? and one I?ve used for torture in the gym. I do not put down weight recommendations as it?s different for everyone. I will however tell you what range of reps you should be aiming for, that will give you a good idea of what weight is appropriate for you. If anything, just make sure you?re working yourself hard, but not doing anything that could hurt you. Kapeesh? ;)

 Lung Busting Full Body Workout

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes walking/jogging on the treadmill. Enough to get your body temperature raised.

Alternating Sets #1: Complete 3 times through

Burpees
10-15 reps
Cardio


Walking lunge with alternating dumbbell shoulder press 
20-24 reps
Quads, glutes, hips, shoulders


Ab roll-up holding on to a medicine ball
10-20 reps
Abs, chest, upper back

*If you can?t do push-ups in the burpees, just come down to a plank then jump up
**For the walking lunges, press the dumbbell up with the opposite arm of whatever leg is forward. Then switch arms as you lunge forward with the other leg

*Depending on your skill level, you?ll need to increase or decrease the suggested speeds. Just make sure the difficulty level is on par with what?s written here. The ?easy? part is your recovery and should feel like a slow jog. The ?hard? part should leave you unable to formulate words.
