WEEK I WORKOUT OVERVIEW
This week, warm up prior to hitting the weights with 5-10 min. of jogging on the treadmill, followed by stretches.  I have grouped exercises together into "revolutions, "and the goal is to perform one exercise after another with little rest in between.  When you are exercising on your own this week, I want you to keep the same format.  I have included a few options for you, so that you may adjust the revolutions to suit your fitness level/needs.  You have the choice of performing each movement for a designated time or counting reps.  Also, if you happen to be working out in a crowded weight room, this allows some flexibility.
