GET READY FOR SUMMER WORKOUT

GET READY FOR SUMMER WORKOUT

By Rosemary Marchese

Editor, B.A. Applied Sci (Physiotherapist)

30 minutes. Yep, that’s all you need (or thereabouts) to start getting ready for Summer. You just need to be consistent with your training and you will get results. No need to get emotional about it. Just be mechanical about it. Just GET ON WITH IT!

• Starting out? Aim for 3 x 12 reps for each exercise.
• Had a bit of practice? Aim for 4 x 12 reps for each exercise.
• Got your stuff sorted as a bit of a pro? Aim for 5 x 12 reps.

For this session, the more advanced you are the longer you will train (a little different to my typical workouts that are all the same length).
