Notes For This Workout:

Typical heart-rate should be 75-85% of max heart-rate. This is a tough routine, so start yourself off easy and increase the intensity as capable.

  • Jumping Lunges are done without weight.
  • Butt Kicks are done with 10lb ankle weight on each leg.
  • Muffin Tops should be completed with 25lb weight min.
  • IF you have a friend, during static crunch (torso should be 45 degrees to floor) have him play “catch” with a 5 to 8 pound medicine ball. Tossing over head (where client has top reach above his head to catch it) adds a little extra “kick” to this exercise.
