Full Body Weighted Cardio Circuit 1d

Program Introduction:

Before beginning this program you must read the following Disclaimer and Terms of Use. You acknowledge that you follow this workout – or any other workout on our site – at your own risk, and that you have consulted with your physician regarding your participation in this program. You also acknowledge that RoxStar Fitness, LLC is not liable for any injuries that you may incur.

Warm Up:   Before you begin this workout you’re going to definitely want to do about 5-10 mins of easy cardio to get the blood flowing and your body ready to train. You can also follow with foam rolling any areas of your body that are tight or sore. Once you do this, you’re ready to begin.

INSTRUCTIONS: Perform the following exercises as one complete circuit. You can take about 30-60 secs rest between each exercise ONLY IF NEEDED! At the end of each CIRCUIT you may take a 60-90 secs rest. Repeat this for the number of sets listed below.

Amount of Weight: It is important for this that you use a weight that gets you to “controlled failure.” So basically that means by the time you get to the last rep, it should be a real challenge to complete and you shouldn’t be able to do any more than set on the program. At the same time, that rep is still performed with perfect form.
