Here’s a workout that will pump up the muscles and make you sweat, sweat, sweat!
This workout uses super sets to work both the back and biceps. The reps are higher so the weight will need to be adjusted accordingly. Focus on form, tempo and breathing. Throughout this entire workout keep your abs tight, this helps to not only allow your core to assist you, but it burns more calories for getting the extra muscles involved.
Weight training is the best form of exercise to burn calories. Lifting an appropriate weight can create your body to burn extra calories at rest up to 48 hours post workout. Not including the calories you would burn during your workout. One of the many reasons why weight training is awesome.
Suggested equipment
- a barbell (not necessary as barbell exercises can be swapped for dumbbells)
