One important thing to note, if you are new to working out or have health problems or concerns, you should always consult with your doctor before starting any workout program.
If that doesn’t convince to lift some heavy sh….stuff, then I don’t know what will. Here is a challenging strength workout to keep you motivated! Ideally, you would have access to a swiss ball, mat, band, and set of weights. But, I’ll show some modifications if you don’t have some of the equipment.
Here’s how it works. This is a drop set workout with 7 exercises in a sequence. We will do an exercise for 20 seconds, and rest for 10. We will do this for all 7 exercises and then start at the top, this time, dropping off the last exercise (so we will do exercises 1-6, still for 20 seconds and resting for 10). We continue this pattern, dropping off the last exercise, until we are down to the first exercise only.
So, for you visual learners, it looks like this:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7
1-2-3-4-5-6
1-2-3-4-5
1-2-3-4
1-2-3
1-2
1
Once you complete the sequence, take a 1 minute break and then do that again with the exercises listed in Sequence 2, followed by a 1-minute hydration break, and then again for Sequence 3.
