Lean Out Those Arms!!

Yesterday I pulled out an old workout I had not done in a long time. The idea behind the workout is "one-hundreds"....with that said, you do 100 reps of each exercise you choose. You can do this with arms or legs even. The idea of doing 100 reps is something different, yet challenging. Mix things up for yourself and try this workout one day! You can take breaks after lets say 25-30..whatever you need. Just keep in mind you want as few "breaks" as possible and if you do have to take them, they need to be as short as possible. I also did this with a client once and we took breaks after every 25 reps for about 30 seconds to a minute by the end. Everyone will be different..fitness levels will make your break times vary. Use a lighter weight than you would for a 10 rep max or shorter repetition sets. The idea is the work the "muscle endurance" and lean the muscle out working it with cardiovascular based training. As always I LOVE adding cardio within the entire workout. Push yourself, work hard, see results!!

10 min on treadmill (intervals)
... 7.0 speed, 3.0 incline, 1 min
... 5.2-5.5 speed, 2.0 incline, 30 seconds
... repeat for a total of 10 minutes

Six 100’s (So, pick 6 different arm exercises - 100 reps each exercise)
With 1.5 min sprints @ speed 8-9 in between every set of 100 (again adjust this speed to your fitness level if needed!)

End with another
10 min on treadmill (intervals)
... 7.0 speed, 2.0 incline, 1 min
... 5.2-5.5 speed, 0 incline, 30 seconds
... repeat for a total of 10 minutes

Jog or walk for 5 more min concentrating on breathing

Have a fit and fabulous day!

As always, Enjoy!
