Week 11: Strength Workout 1

Fitness Anywhere — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 01:05:00 GMT

Just when you think it couldn’t get any harder, think again. Week 11 and 12 are the hardest of the program! This is a build up program, with no off time or tapering, advancing each week. This week we jump to three sets of each exercise, reducing and sometimes eliminating completely the rest between sets. Transition times are reduced from 35 seconds to 30 seconds.

Strength Workout 1 will give you one of the best leg workouts of your life. With three sets of the 6 leg exercises in a row with no rest between sets and only 30 seconds of transition time, you will build athletic power, endurance and strength all at once.

Change up the first set of the Suspended Lunge by bringing the leg behind you into a Balance Lunge. This may make it easier for you to jump up after you reach back and load the leg, exploding as you come up.
