Hey Chicks,
Hitting a workout or weight loss slump? If you are feeling at a plateau then this is a workout post for you!
In this week’s episode of FIT CHICKS TV, Head Chick Laura introduces you to a simple, easy to follow but fat blasting way to train…SUPER SETS!
What are supersets?
A super set is 2 exercises performed in a row without stopping (no rest).
Why are they awesome?
- Saves time because of no stopping
- Add intensity
- Helps bust through weight loss plateaus
- Gives you more variety to your workouts!
How to do supersets?
There are a variety of options to do supersets but 2 of the most popular are:
- Superset exercises with same body part (ie 2 chest exercises performed in a row with no rest)
- Superset exercises with different body part (ie 1 chest and 1 back exercise performed in a row with no rest)
WORKOUT
– Warm up for 10 minutes of cardio
– Perform each of the supersets listed below for 3 sets then rest for 1 min before moving to the next:
- SUPERSET CHEST: 12 Standing Chest flies @ 5 -15lbs* / push ups to max
- SUPERSET TRICEP: 12 Tricep Kick Backs @ 5 – 15lbs* / tricep dips to max
- SUPERSET QUADS: 12 squats @ 5 -15lbs* / jump squats to max
- SUPERSET HAMSTRINGS: 12 deadlifts @ 5-15lbs / walking lunges (approx. 30 feet)
- SUPERSET ABS: 30 sec Mountain Climbers / crunches to max
* Chicks, don’t be afraid of heavier weights! The last rep should be a bit of struggle. If not, go a little heavier.
– Finish with 10 min of cardio of choice
– Cooldown & Stretch
Any q’s let us know and have a SUPER day!
