Resistance Training – Work Your Butt Off Workout

Feb 12, 2012 by Tatianna

 

Today’s workout was circuit training resistance routine with the main focus on the lower body. I had one of those day’s that I just really didn’t feel like training and I was doing everything possible to talk my self out of it, but I pushed through and worked out anyway because I promised my self that I am going to be a lot more disciplined and so far I’ve done a pretty good job at it.

In this workout I was finally using my pull-up bar, yay!  I think everyone should have a pull-up bar in their house because it’s seriously the best piece of equipment and you can get one anywhere for under 20 dollars. I usually hang mine in my office doorway and when I walk by I would do some pull-ups or leg lifts, this will keep you in shape all the time!!!

Before doing this workout make sure you are warmed up, I have a basic warm-up video you can follow along.

For workout recap and beginner variation fast forward the video.

Make sure you don’t rush through the movements and always watch your form, proper form is what gives results. In this workout I was using my 40 lbs VersaFit bag, but you can use dumbbells.
