Workout Wednesday: Volume 1

Workout Wednesday is all about giving you a new workout to try so that you aren't getting board with the same ol' routine. Some workouts will focus on certain muscle groups and some will hit the whole body. Hopefully at some point you find a useful routine or something different from what you normally do. Remember, before doing any exercise be sure to start with a warm up. If you are unsure of how to warm-up try simple things like marching or jogging in place, jumping jacks, body weight squats, jumping rope, arm circles, planks or just use a cardio machine like a treadmill, bike, or elliptical. Try to do a warm-up lasting between 5 and 10 minutes.

Today's workout is a treadmill/dumbbell interval workout:

Quick note: When choosing your dumbbell weight be sure to challenge yourself. If you are continuously completing the sets with no difficulty, UP THAT WEIGHT!

DB Set 1: For 3 minutes alternate between 10 push ups and 10 rear delt fly's

After DB Set 1 go to treadmill block
