Calorie Burning Biceps, Back, and Shoulders Workout
Do you walk into the gym without a plan and find yourself hitting the treadmill because you don't know what to do? This is a great upper body strength workout to take to gym with you, so that you will have plan to help you navigate the weight area and it includes cardio bursts to burn some calories! I burned over 350 calories when I did it. I really liked doing the jumping jacks during my breaks - it gave my muscles a rest and I didn't feel like I was wasting time while I was waiting during the break.
