SUMMER WORKOUT SERIES: FULL BODY STRENGTH

I’m excited to share the first workout in this series from The Move Project!

This workout consists of three circuits.  You can do this full body workout 3-4 times this week if desired!  Warm up for 5-10 minutes beforehand, complete the circuits, then if you have time, finish off with 20 minutes of cardio intervals on your favorite machine.  Be sure that you are varying the speed and resistance for the 20 minutes.

Tips/guidelines below…

• Complete 1-2 sets of each circuit before moving on to the next one.  Use an 8-10 rep range for these movements.  Use weight that is heavy enough so the last couple reps are difficult to complete, while still being able to maintain good form.
• Don’t rest long between exercises, it’s best if you move from one to the next quickly, to keep your heart rate up.  Grab a sip of water if needed, but don’t pause for too long;-)
• Be sure to keep good posture throughout the workout and pause at both the top and bottom of each movement.

What I wore: 

• Beyond Yoga Tank and Sports Bra:  Love this combo!  The tank is light and slightly loose.  I like to wear it as is, or knotted in back.  The criss cross detail on the sides of both pieces is unique.  The bright coral is perfect for summer!  (Click here to see how I wore it outside of the gym.)
• Candida Maria Leggings:  These leggings are buttery soft and come in the prettiest prints!  They definitely make a statement.  If you want to try something different, printed leggings are a great alternative to solids.  I used to be wary of them, but once I tried them, I realized that they actually camouflage instead of highlight any issues…if you know what I mean;-)
• Nike Free Flyknit 4.0 Sneakers:  I really don’t wear anything else!  These are my favorites because my foot can actually move in these.  They are awesome for training!  I also like the Free 5.0 style.
