WOW – Mondays workout 09/5/2011

Our last few workouts have focused on cardio or muscular endurance so today we’ll shake things up with some strength training but with an appropriate Ultra-Fit twist! This workout, including warm up and cool down, should take 45 minutes.

Perform 5 progressively heavier sets of squats starting every 2 minutes – this is called pyramid training.

 Example:

Start your watch!
1) 12 reps with 30kg
2 minutes later
2) 10 reps with 40kg
2 minutes later
3) 8 reps with 50kg
2 minutes later
4) 6 reps with 60kg
2 minutes later
5) 4 reps with 70kg

 

 

Hustle to the bench press station repeat the sequence using approproate weights for that exercise and finish up with 5 sets of lat pull downs using the same system.

Feel free to substitute different exercises so long as you stay true to the spirit of the workout and use a compound leg, push and pull exercise.
