Hi Love!

Today's workout is a total body strength workout. Total body workouts are fabulous when you're just getting started with a training routine. Total body workouts allow you to train as little as 3 times per week, still hit each muscle group sufficiently to make progress, and get proper recovery time for each muscle. This lower training frequency makes it easier to stay consistent with your routine in the long term. 

Let's dive into the terminology you need to understand for this workout.

Exercise Terms to Know

Superset: Perform 2 exercises one after the other without rest in between

Example: Below, when it says "Step ups superset with reverse hyperextensions off bench," you would perform 12 steps ups and then 12 reverse hyperextensions immediately after without rest in between them. Once you've completed 12 reps of both exercises in the superset, rest, and then repeat 3 more times for 4 total sets.
