Hi, everyone
Today’s workout was 18 minutes long, interval training routine. I was focusing on building muscle so the amount of repetitions weren’t as important as the quality of the movement it self. To build muscle the exercise should be hard enough where you are able to perform 6 – 10 reps, with the last 2 reps being extremely challenging. So I tried to make sure all of my reps for each exercise didn’t exceed 10, that’s why I added more pulses on the squats and lunges and did every exercise much more slowly to create that challenge.
In this workout I placed a great tension on butt, shoulders, triceps and obliques.
Since this routine was only 18 minutes long, I added 12 more minutes of jump rope skipping in combination with myostatic crunch ( as my moderate cardio, ). I set my timer Gymboss Max for 2 intervals 30 seconds and just went back and forth between skipping and myostatic crunch.
