Summer is quickly approaching and thanks to Bodybuilding.com you can mix up your Spring Training with a new workout. Check out the training, nutrition and supplement plan designed to help you get the body you want. It might be a beginner’s guide for some of you but take a look at some of the training and you might pick up a new exercise or two.
Overview
- Use light weight and higher reps at the beginning of the workout to help enhance blood flow to muscles and burn more calories as you train.
- With each circuit you’ll go heavier and use lower reps to stimulate your fast-twitch muscle fibers and keep your body in fat-burning mode after the workout is over.
- Focus on compound movements to maximize the amount of work done in this short, full-body routine.
- To keep your heart rate up, you’ll perform five minutes of cardio between each circuit at 70-75% maximum heart rate (MHR).
- Use an average tempo like 2/1/2 (two seconds to lower the weight, one second pause, and two seconds to lift it) to ensure you perform each exercise properly.
- Perform 45-60 minutes of cardio on your cardio days, working at 75% of your MHR.
