Spring is in the air and there's no time to waste in getting your body into "viewing" shape!
The good news is, you can tone your whole body and burn major fat while working out with weights. You would be getting an aerobic workout while getting a defined, sexy look. I did it at my age (take a look at my photo) -- so you can do it too!
But how can this be?
If you work with weights and seldom or never rest, that workout becomes aerobic. But the catch is, you have to go lighter.
One of the best benefits of working out this way is, since you're not wasting time resting, you get an hour's worth of fitness in one-third the time! It's truly a win-win situation.
But there is a method to this that must be followed. You can't do all of your exercises for one body part and then move to the next. You would wear yourself out. You have to trick your body. While one body part is working, the other is resting.
Here's how it works: You would do the exercises in this order, never having to put the dumbbells down and hardly changing your position! How conveeeenient, as the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live used to say!
1. Standing Alternate Biceps Curl for biceps -- Stand curling your arms with the dumbbells. Then holding the dumbbells straight down at your sides you do...
2. Regular Squat for thighs -- Then bending over and holding the dumbbells in front...
3. Regular Dumbbell Row for back and bra-roll -- Then elbows close to your body...
4. Double arm triceps kickback for triceps -- Holding dumbbells straight down, do...
5. Standing Butt Squeeze for butt -- Crossing your arms, a dumbbell on each shoulder...
6. Front Squat for thighs -- Dumbbell in each hand, swing arms out to the sides for...
7. Side lateral for shoulders.
See what I mean? You hardly move your position. You never put down a dumbbell.
You would do three exercises for each body part, but you would not do your whole body in one day. You would divide it up in half! Since there are 8 body parts (chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, legs, butt, abs and back) you could make your own decision as to how to divide it. So there would be 24 exercises for each day and you would do them without stopping.
Boom. Your workout is over before you know it. Once you get used to working out this way you almost hate to go back to the old resting routines.
