Workout Instructions:
After going on back-to-back vacations I certainly had to get creative with my workouts. I found myself creating workouts for everyone that I was traveling with, so for my first Fitness post, I’m going to share a workout that I created for my sisters and I while we were staying in Chicago!
For this workout I provided a wide weight range, so this workout can be modified to meet your personal needs. I recommend beginning exercisers start at the low end of the weight range, intermediate exercisers pick something in the middle, and advanced exercisers start at the high end. (Hint: You know you picked a good weight when your muscles are fatigued, and you can barely do the last few repetitions of each set!)
For this workout you will need access to dumbbells, and a cardio machine! This workout takes about an hour, and I recommend that rest periods are kept around 30-45 seconds in between sets to keep your heart rate up! (Note: If you’re not familiar with the exercises, I would recommend googling them first!)
