Get The Perfect Summer Workout!

PERFECT SUMMER WORKOUT:

Looking for the perfect beach body? We have the right prescription! Here’s a plan that utilizes high-intensity resistance training with cardio.

You do know that weight resistance training is the best way to burn excess fat and calories, compared to only cardio. This routine is simple and you can adjust it depending on what’s available at your gym.

Basically, during your rest periods, rather than slumping over the machine or sitting down on the bench, you’ll be moving to a jump rope, stationary bike, or any piece of cardio equipment available to you.

Remember to keep the weight on the lighter side, and execute more reps so you don’t over-train your body. Incorporate a variety of techniques into your workout routine and superset smaller exercise with H.I.I.T. principles. Never train your entire body in one workout. Stick to one or two muscle groups and train them in accordance with the suggested schedule:
