Arms!

A little heads up to add to today's workout. A technician from Apple Fitness will be coming by all three stations today to perform some much needed maintenance on the cardio equipment. Please help him with whatever he needs. Most likely he will only interfere with 89's workout time, but even then he will be arriving at the end when we hit the stairs!




Warm up, Pre-hab, Movement Prep are still a must.

When you're ready for action follow what is listed below, completing the cardio at the end. No dilly dallying between sets! You can rest on the next exercise -these are meant to be supersets. There will be lots of time for the cardio at the end.


Part 1:
Close Grip Bench Press -3 sets x 10 reps-see pic above
Skull Crushers, 1 Dumbell per arm, -3 sets x 15 reps -{move elbow towards head for increased difficulty}
Bench Dips -3 sets x 10 reps


Part 2:
Barbell Curls -3 sets x 10 reps
Alternating Hammer Curls -3 sets x 10 reps
Concentration Curls -2 sets x 6 reps [max weight you can do for 6 reps]

ABS:Banana Rock Abs -3 sets of 30Bicycle Abs -3 sets of 30 
OR Wide knee abs.

You'll have to stagger yourselves for the cardio if everyone wants a treadmill....

Be creative and consider adapting this to the bike or running the hose tower as well.Intervals:5 Repetitions -60 sec recovery
(this can be a walk if needed)2 min of sustained 8/10 exertion -target something close to your top speed, but not a sprint, and you must maintain it for 2 min.

Add 5 minutes of slow steady warm up, and a good 5 min of cool down - you'll be bagged if you push yourself on this and don't coast.

Hydrate well and recovery will be quick.I don't think you'll need help adapting this to the bike or rower.If you want to use the stairs, try this variation.

Run the stairs, quickly, but make yourself touch every stair on the way up and down. Time yourself- at the top, for the same amount of time do Split Lunge Jumps. Walk back down the stairs for your recovery. Depending on the hall, your work:rest ratio may be off, but ideally, try for a 2:1 work:rest ratio.Good Luck!
