October 18th...Let's get Supersetting!

Many of us start our work out routine with straight set training...doing one exercise for several repetitions, resting and then doing another set of the same exercise. This is a great way to get started with strength training but after awhile, you might want to spice things up a bit.  Try adding "Supersets" to your next work out.  What is it?  Supersetting is an advanced training method in which you do two exercises, one after the other, with no rest in between. The exercises can be for the same muscle group or two different muscle groups, depending on your goals. They can even be completely different activities, like a strength exercise followed by a cardio exercise. The idea is to do one exercise and, instead of resting and doing another set, do a different exercise and alternating those exercises for your desired number of sets. What are the benefits of Supersetting...it can save time, add intensity and help you bust through weight loss plateaus.

Oh just look at Trellia and Angela chilling out, all relaxed...they have no idea of what their in for...SUPERSETS baby! OH YA!
