For the resistance exercises aim to complete 3 sets of 12 reps using a weight that will challenge you. You should be struggling to complete the last couple of reps by the 3rd set. Rest for 45 seconds between sets.

 

Warm up: Spend 5-10 minutes warming up at the start of the workout.

 

Dumbbell chest press

Dumbbell squat

Barbell bent over row

Alternating leg lunges with dumbbell lateral raise

Arm superset: Barbell bicep curl and tricep pushdown (Perform these 2 exercises back to back with no rest and then rest for 45 seconds at the end of the pushdowns)

Core superset: Stability ball crunch and stability ball lower back extension

 

Cycle: Perform 2 minutes on an exercise bike at a moderately comfortable resistance whilst keeping your RPM (speed) around 70-80. Then for 30 seconds work at the highest resistance you can without letting your RPM drop below 70. Repeat for 12 minutes.

 

Rowing machine: Complete 1000 metres in your quickest time.

 

Spend 5-10 minutes cooling down and stretching at the end of the workout.
