Hump Day Work Out - Compound Sets

I will be showing you some great exercises you can do in the comfort of your own home. I'll be filming by myself, so it might be a bit tricky, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Tonight's workout will consist compound sets of chest and back exercises, so if you're doing these at home you'll need to buy a set of dumbbells. You can pick them up a Crappy Tire, or any fitness equipment store (I think Wal Mart even carries them).

- Compound Set is any exercise where you incorporate more than one muscle group. for tonight we will be mixing back and chest. One full chest exercise, ie Regular Push ups, followed by one full set of Back Row. Then we repeat. Chest & Back, Chest & Back, until we are finished. It gives the muscles a bit of a break, and is a good change from doing one muscle group all at once.

We will begin with some compound sets of push ups.

1. Regular Push up
2. Wide Push up
3. Close Handed Push up
4. Diamond Hand Push up (Option #2 - More difficult)
5. Dumbbell Press

Then followed by:

1. Back row
2. Dumbbell Lift
3. Lower Back lifts

For our chest we will be completing 2x sets of each exercise. 8-12 reps per set. As the sets move along, it will be harder and harder to reach the rep goal, so we have to fight and push!

For the back exercises, we will be completing 3x sets of each, 10-12 reps each set.


We will also be doing some abdominal exercises! Yay! the best part! :)

So stay tuned, I'll have the video up tonight so you can follow along.
