Improve Body Relationship - Day 120

It's Monday. That means it's time for the next workout routine.
Today I'll start routine 4 (week 4).

You'll need resistance bands and a stability Pilate's ball to do this routine.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday I'll do the following:

Circuit Training Exercises.

Ball Push ups
Ball Squat
Seated Band Row
Hip Bridge
Side Lateral Raise w/ band
Triceps Extensions
Ball Crunch
Superman

This circuit training format utilizes a group of 8 strength exercises that are completed one exercise after another with little or no
break.

Each exercise is performed for a prescribed amount of time before
moving on to the next exercise. The exercises within each circuit are
separated by brief, timed rest intervals, and each circuit is separated by a longer rest period.

The total number of circuits performed during a training session may vary from two to six depending on your training level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), your period of training (preparation
or competition) and your training objective.

Beginner:

- 30 seconds per exercise

- 30 second break in between:

- Total number of circuits: 2-3

Intermediate:

- 45 seconds per exercise

- 15 second break in between

- Total number of circuits: 3-4

Advance:

- 60 seconds per exercise

- 5 second break in between

- Total number of circuits: 3-4

Example for a beginner: Do ball push ups for 30 seconds (whatever amount you can complete), followed by 30 second break.
Next, perform Ball Squats for 30 seconds (whatever amount you can complete) followed by a 30 second break. Repeat until the last exercise (superman) and go back to ball push ups again; for a complete a total of 2-3 rounds.

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday:

10 - 20 minutes of interval cardio.

Have fun and enjoy.
