Fitness Magazine 30-minute

Fitness Magazine's West Coast editor led me through my half-hour workout today through a great little video that came with my subscription a couple of years ago. I doubt they still sell the little VHS I used tonight but while I was out at their site, I found this cool "Build your own workout video" application.

In the meantime, here's what I did tonight:

Warm up: 5 minutes (one song) on the treadmill

Workout: 2 sets of 8 reps, no rest between, using 5-lb weights

Arms
  • Bentover row
  • Bentover rear flyes
  • Combination (one row, one flye)
Abs
  • Standing side crunches
Arms
  • Bentover bicep curls
  • Bentover tricep extensions
  • One bicep, two triceps
Abs
  • Knee lift, shoulder twists (abs)
Arms
  • Overhead triceps presses
  • Shoulder curls
  • Two overhead triceps presses, one shoulder curl
The video allows you to quit here for a quick 15-minute workout or keep going... But this isn't 15-minute workouts.com!

Onward...
