Workout Wednesday: Strength-Power Supersets

March 2, 2016 by johnson_mel@hotmail.com

Strength-Power Supersets

Well it has been three whole days and we still have Kevin! He is still scared of us and every person he meets, but he is getting better. He got a bath last night and did fantastic! I put him on our bed when he was dry and he snuggled with us all night. It makes me so happy!

He couldn’t have a bath right away because of being neutered. You have to wait 10 days after they are neutered before you can bathe them. Kevin was neutered last Friday and then ran away Sunday. Once we got him back he was one stinky unit, but we couldn’t wash him! Hahaha we made it and now he is clean as can be. No more smelly Kevin. Yay!

So Strength-Power supersets are one of my favorite ways to train. Jodi has us do this format quite a bit in bootcamp. It really gets your heart rate up and is quite challenging.

Each superset should be done with minimal rest between each exercise, but rest about one minute before moving on to the next superset. Feel free to change up the power move too. Try box jumps, jump lunges, weighted jumping jacks, etc.

You can also change out the strength move, depending on what body parts you would like to work. I was going for a full body workout so chose a hamstring, quad, chest, and a back exercise. You could do smaller muscle groups if you wanted such as shoulders, biceps, triceps, abs, etc. Get creative! This format is very customizable and can be adjusted for time too.
