Upper Body Sculpt #3
This workout focuses mainly on upper body movements, so choose weights that will challenge you.
Start light for the first set and increase each set as you are able.
Print out the workout and write down how much weight you are lifting for each set. That way you'll have a nice record/reference point for future workouts.
If you are able, really push yourself on the 1-Minute Cardio sessions. It's only a minute. You can do anything for a minute, right? Push yourself out of your comfort zone and get your heart rate up (unless your doctor specifically told you not to). This is where a buddy comes in handy. Or if you are solo, watch the timer and try to increase your intensity every 10-15 seconds. You can do it! I know you can!
