The Workouts

20 Minute Upper/lower Body

Frequency: 4 Days Per Week (M-T-TH-F) Time: About 20 Minutes
This program provides you with a quick and effective workout that combines muscle conditioning with

some cardiovascular benefits. Do this routine when you are limited in time or just want a variation to your

normal routine. Perform this program training 2 days, resting 1 to 2. Perform all exercises to near failure,

stopping at the point that your technique starts to deteriorate. Rest only 20-30 seconds between sets. As

you get stronger, increase the number of sets you perform. Move slowly on each rep. Use a pace that

will allow you to stop the movement instantly at any point in the rep. Count three seconds up and three

seconds down and work to fatigue during each set.
