Let’s get to it!

The biggest change for this part of the series is that you are going to do ALL 20 minutes of your cardio first.

Also, your 10 minute weight training program jumps from DOUBLE DROP SETS to TRIPLE DROP SETS.

30 Minute Workout Part 2 (Weeks 4-6)

20 Minutes Cardio, 10 Minutes Weight Training = 30 Minutes TOTAL.

 

CARDIO – 20 minutes.

Elliptical Machine – 20 minutes – Manual Incremental Level Increase Taper.

Begin at a relatively easy level. Increase your resistance by 1 level each minute. Once you get to a level that you struggle to complete the entire minute, taper down by lowering the resistance by 1 or 2 levels (depending on how much time is left*) each minute until you reach a total of 20 minutes.

*Example 1 – You begin at level 4 and get to level 14 (after 10 minutes), and you struggle to do level 14 for the entire minute. You have 10 minutes remaining, so taper down 1 level each remaining minute.

*Example 2 – You begin at level 4 and get to level 19 (after 15 minutes), and you struggle to do level 19 for the entire minute. You only have 5 minutes remaining, so taper down 2 levels each remaining minute.

 

WEIGHT and RESISTANCE training – 10 minutes.

 (Alternate your weight and resistance training between the following two routines.  Do each routine continuously for 10 minutes).

Repetitions (or Reps) for each SET and each TRIPLE DROP SET should be between 5-10 reps.

**These Examples are only intended to create greater understanding of the circuit and workout. It is important to take into consideration your personal level of fitness and strength with determining the amount of weight and resistance that you use. Also, notice that the “reps” simply fall into the range of “5-10 reps,” and that the number of “reps” should correlate to your level of fatigue.
