New Year New You (gym session)

The Anti-Aging Workout Duration: 45 minutes Difficulty level: Intermediate Muscles involved: Abs · Shoulders · Back · Chest · Hamstrings · Quads · Glutes Focus: Fat loss Overview To offset the aging process, you'll combine metabolic boosters that will keep you burning calories 24 hours a day and strength training movements that will be easy on your joints but hard on your fat cells. Once you start this workout, your body-and the aging process-won't stand a chance. How to do this workout? Perform this workout three days a week, resting at least a day between each session. So you might go on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. When you see a number with a letter next to it-such as 1A and 1B-it means the exercises should be performed as a group. Do one set of the first exercise, rest for the prescribed amount of time, and then do one set of the next exercise in the group. Repeat until you've completed all of your sets for each exercise, and then move on to the next group. Circuit : Do 1 set of each exercise in a group consecutively, without rests in between. Once these exercises have been completed, repeat the circuit again - doing 1 set of each with no rests in between. Continue until prescribed number of total sets are performed Strength : Complete all sets of an exercise at the same time with rests in between. Then move to the next exercise. Superset : Two moves done consecutively (like a circuit) with no rests in between Weekly Routine DAY 1 workout DAY 2 rest DAY 3 workout DAY 4 rest DAY 5 workout DAY 6 rest DAY 7 rest SUPERSET SETS REPS/TIME REST (S) 1A Barbell front squat to push press 3 20 60 1B Barbell straight-leg deadlift 3 10 60 SUPERSET SETS REPS/TIME REST (S) 2A Squat thrusts 3 15 60 2B Plank with arm raise 3 8 60 ** - as many as possible; @ - each side
