Traveling? Need a Change? Try this Circuit!

July 9, 2016 By Mindy

Chicago Training 2

Written on July 3, 2016 while at the NPC Chicago “Wings of Strength” show:

—–

I did a ‪circuit‬ before my ‪cardio‬ today, still at the hotel in their closet-sized gym. I designed this to be a peripheral training, alternating upper and lower body, which is super effective for getting the most from the body.

I went thru the whole thing one time for sets of 12-15 each OR you could repeat each A or B part 2-3x OR go thru the body parts each before moving on. This plan could be alternated A for Mon/Wed and B for Tues/Thurs. Lots of possibilities….Get creative!

I share this for many reasons:
-It gives ideas for those who are stuck or traveling and not sure what to do
-It helps to see what others do to work their plan while away or on limited time
-It shows what variety there is when training the body. Nothing fancy needed, just get the body parts under tension from ALL angles.

‪No excuses‬! This is FREE info for you to steal and use and will take 30-45 minutes of your day. Do it and move on to life!

-Back: Narrow grip pull-down
-Back: Bent over cable or DB/BB row
-Hamstring: Machine curl or Lying DB curl
