This is what my trainer calls a whole body workout. We normally do this Monday and Wednesday, with Friday hitting the weight room. Every week or so he will replace one of these excercises or tweak it, upping reps, etc. to keep up with progress or as punishment because he doesn't feel I am going hard enough (I'm paying him for this?!) To someone who is always in the gym, this might not seem much, but I am pretty burned out after this. My trainer (James from here on out) doesn't allow any rest time between sets (unless you count me getting off the floor to begin running) as he wants my heart rate to stay up the entire workout. I'll add more later, including some interesting stuff he keeps telling me about my water intake.
