WoRkout 8 DIRECtIoN
Do this circuit 2 days per week
Perform 1 set of each exercise in succession. Each exercise lasts 60
seconds. Do as many reps as you can, with perfect form, in that time,
and then move on to the next station.
Take a 15 second rest and move to next exercise within that time, and
rest for 90 seconds after you’ve completed 1 circuit of all 10 exercises.
Then repeat two more times for 3 complete rounds.
If you can’t go the entire minute, rest a few seconds and then
resume until your time at that exercise time is up. Use a weight that’s
challenging for 15 to 20 reps. The workout takes 41 minutes to complete.
Warm up and stretch after your workout
Complete all exercises and DO NOT GIVE UP! This will be the hardest
workout that you have done in a long time, so it will be tough. Hang in
there because the more you do these workouts the better you will
get and the more fit you will be.
