I
am always looking for new ways to challenge my body with my workouts, so I subscribe
to several fitness magazines; FitnessRx for Women, Oxygen Mag, and Muscle and
Fitness Hers, are my favorites.
This
month in the FitnessRx magazine, competitor Nicole Wilkin’s contributed a full
body workout. Per her description, this
workout will help “build muscle, perfect your body shape, and challenge you
muscles in new ways.”
She
also made this statement, and I just love it, “Remember that you were only
given one body, and it’s your job to take care of it – no one else’s.
Perform
3 sets of 12-15 Reps for each exercise. This is not a circuit and there are no
superset. Complete all sets of an exercise before moving to the next one.
Bench Step-Ups with
Barbell or Dumbbells
Incline Push-Ups with Feet on Bench
Reverse-grip Seated Cable
Rows (you can use wide grip or
narrow grip)
Hanging Leg Raises
Reverse Hyperextensions (a lot of gyms do not have the hyperextension
machine, so I found a demo using a stability ball)
And
for those who do not have a gym – here is a workout you can do at home.

Thanks for sharing the workout. I will have to try it out on a cross training day. I loved Nicole's quote too- so true!
I love Nicole Wilkins! I got her DVD a few weeks ago... it has some awesome routines in it!
Nicole Wilkins is quite the inspiration! I had to look up a couple of the exercises (spider curls). Funny how we use different names to describe the same things!
I shall pin your workout to come back to when I need some inspiration! Thanks!
This sounds like a great work out - I love it when fitness magazines gives things that you can use :)
Thanks for these workouts! I don't have a gym membership yet, so I am definitely going to try the at home workout! Have a great one! (thanks for the links too!)
