The Best 21 Minute Chest and Back Workout!

I love the format of these 21 minute workouts!  The focus is on your back and chest, but has a cardio burst to keep your heart rate up and calories burning. This workout has three 7 minute circuits that you work through and do as many times as you can, stopping after 7 minutes regardless of how many sets you can get finished, and move onto the next set.  After 21 minutes (25 with warm up) - you are all finished!  It's a great workout for any fitness level - you move through the sets as fast as your fitness level allows!  Beginners will finish 1-2 sets, while 3-4 sets will probably be the goal for those who are more advanced.  

It's a great way to do a workout when you are short on time.  You have to work hard, but you are done in less than 30 minutes!  That's only 2% of your day!
