New Workout!

Here is your one week circuit training workout! It's inspired by Jillian Michaels but I modified it to make it even more brutal...you're welcome!!! I absolutely LOVE circuit type workouts, you get cardio and strength training in one! This type of training provides major calorie burn and the end result is a tone, sleek looking body!

Do each circuit twice through 8-12 reps per move, 1 min of each cardio move (i.e. jumping jacks), and 40 of the ab moves. Make sure to challenge yourself by using a weight that gets your heart rate up and stimulates your muscles.
