Awhile ago I found an upper body workout specially designed for women on T3.COM.
Basically there a 9 different upper body moves, of which 10 reps is one set. And you do 5 sets...so 50 biceps curls for each arm, 50 shoulder presses, etc. High reps, low weights. I used 3, 5 and 9 lb weights. Muscle soreness guaranteed! But it was pretty intense, taking over an hour.
So I divided the workout into 2 sessions, making it more likely I'll complete all 50 reps for each exercise and it now takes about 30 minutes, including a warm up and cool down from the FB library.
So. I thought I'd try the same format for the lunge and squat challenges, doing only some of the moves (i.e. leaving out the squat jumps and lunge jumps). 2 sessions (5 moves each) doing 3 sets of 10 reps for each move, each workout taking about 30 minutes, including warm up and cool down.
Watatow....quite a fun workout! And the muscle soreness is felt the same day, gradually diminishing over 3-4 days!
I'll be doing these for 2 weeks between FB programs to mix things up. 💪😄💚
My own twist on the lunge and squat challenges
