Workout of The Day: Shoulders + HIIT



Time to head to the gym, and kick your own booty:)
There is no better feeling, in my opinion, than getting empowered by pushing yourself extremely hard. Today, I decided to get to the gym and have a quick/intense workout.

Before starting this workout you should remember I am listing the weights I use, but we are all at different levels and it takes time to build strength. Start off light, and work your way up!

I did some jumping jacks, and stretched my arms then....

Quick Shoulder workout:
3x12 Shoulder press (50 lb barbell)
3x10 Seated Arnold press (27.5 lb dumbbells)
3x12 Lateral raises (15 lb dumbbell)
3xShoulder circuit-arms lifted (like a T)
50 push forward-palms facing towards the front then immediately...
50 push back- palms facing towards the rear then immediately...
50 small arm circles towards the front then immediately...
50 small arm circles towards the back then immediately...
50 big arm circles towards the front then immediately...
50 big arm circles towards the back then immediately...
15 front raises (15 lb dumbbell) then 1 min rest and begin circuit again!

With the HIIT, remember go at your own pace! Don't start off at level 10 if it is too fast! We don't want to be that person who falls of the treadmill, do we?

HIIT- Treadmill incline 1
5 min jog level 5
3x
1 min level 10
1 min level 5
50 seconds level 11
1 min 10 seconds level 5
40 seconds level 12
1 min 20 seconds level 5
repeat
5 min jog level 5

Hope you get the good sweat like I did:) Huffing and puffing!
