During the busy holiday season there are some weight training exercises that can be very efficient. Perhaps it is the way we use our weight training exercises that make it efficient. I’m talking about Supersets. That is, when you work opposing muscle groups back to back without any rest in between. Let’s use the chest for example. Execute a set of bench presses and then quickly execute a set of back exercises. Rest for 1 minute to 90 seconds and repeat the chest/back combo.
A few things to remember with weight training exercises:
- Start with large muscle groups: Chest/Back, Legs/Shoulders, Biceps/Triceps
- Remember to utilize the push/pull action…push the bench press away/lat pull downs.
- Work in some ab exercises during your 60-90 second break.
Here is just another variation on how you keep your workouts fresh. You can save a little time and get a full body workout. Add in the superset while working on your weight training exercises.
