Today’s workout was a follow up routine to yesterdays ” Leg’s, Butt And Thighs Workout “. It was about 22 minutes long and torturous as hell! This routine was focused on the upper body, abs, and cardio. It was definitely very fast paced and by the end I was completely burned out.
When doing routines such as HIIT it’s very important to nourish your body properly at least an hour and a half to an hour before the routine, this will help you push your self much harder, it will also help your body develop good muscle tone. I’ve been following all of my own nutrition advice such as vegetables with every meal, and I can tell you that eating veggies with every meal gives you an incredible amount of energy especially for training. So eat your veggies!
In this routine I used a medicine ball, my timer, a weighted jump rope and my pink toy Lebert. If you don’t have the equipment I am using, you can substitute the Lebert with just 2 chairs for dips.
Don’t forget to do a good warm-up before starting this routine, you have a basic warm-up routine which you can follow along.
For workout recap and beginner variation fast forward the video.
