Summer Shedded

Well it's about that time rt? When everyone wants to look good for summer. They have waited all winter for this moment to get shredded for summer. Everyone wants to lose the extra weight they have gained during the winter. I don't know why people wait. Get after it day in and day out!

With that being said I believe the best way to accomplish this is my doing some circuit training and HIIT training.

For the circuit training you could go heavy our light depending on what you want out if it. If you were going heavy just give your self a bit more rest. You can pick 8 exercises with a push/pull combo or upper/lower. For a lean look shoot for 12 reps and muscular shoot for no more than 8 reps. Keep your rest period short and just move! After each circuit rest no more than 1 min. Get after it!

Now as for the HIIT make sure you are doing sprints, hill work, or even Burpees. You can add some core work on this day of you would like comes down to preference I guess. Keep the HITT short no more than 30 min. In and out! As for core work pick 3-4 core exercises plank, knee tucks, Russian twist, and v ups for example and use them in a circuit as well. Hold the plank for 30-60 seconds, 15-20 knee tucks, 15 each side for the twist, and 10-15 v-ups. Keep the rest period short once again and just move!

These are just some small ideas you can use to help jump start your program. You have to want it don't wait for it! Train to live.
