Quick Super-Set Workout

If you  follow this blog on how to exercise for fat loss you will know that the most effective workouts are interval training for cardio and super-sets for strength training.

A super-set is when you do two or more exercises one right after the other.

Non-competing super-sets are when the exercises use different or opposing muscle groups. The muscles you used in the first exercise will be at rest while you work out different muscles in the second exercise.

When you perform the exercises without rest in between, you get a cardio workout and a strength training workout in one.

Super-sets that use high intensity, full body combination exercises like squats, lunges, pulling and pushing give you more bang for your buck.

Exercise this way for the most effective metabolism boost to burn more calories.

You will be work your abs plenty with all the exercises even if they do not seem ab specific like crunches.

Here is a quick super-set workout for you to try. The more intense you make it, the more effect it will have on your fat loss.

If you find this too easy or too hard, I can easily ramp it up or down for you with a custom designed workout. Also, you can get my Women’s  In Home Workout E-book where these exercises came from. It has beginner, intermediate and advanced workouts in it.

A woman I coach told me her husband borrows her printed copy and takes it to the gym with him. She says he loves it… what a guy!!

Here is the workout. There are 3 super-sets each with 2 exercises… “A” and “B”. Perform A & B one right after the other, 8-12 reps each without resting. Then rest one minute and repeat 1A and 1 B again. Go again for a third set, and continue the same way with the other 2 super-sets, 2A & 2B and 3A and 3B.

The weight should be challenging enough so it gets hard at the end of each set. Increase the weight as you get stronger. Always warm up before starting.
