If you can do a cardio workout after this, then more power to you. But if you work as hard as you should, any cardio you do after this workout, will probably be very short. And make sure before you do, eat something as this is very taxing and you'll need a protein infusion (and carbohydrate, and electrolyte) to keep your body from canabalizing muscle. Remember, the idea is that EVERY 1 minute work session should be as close to the maximum capacity as can be. I set it up specifically so that you're working alternate muscle groups, which will allow you to work each muscle group to failure and still have time to recover for the next exercise for that muscle. This is based on something called active recovery. I.E. recover one muscle group while working another.0 -

I doubt I'd want to demo the whole thing, but I can show you the one move that you are looking for.
here is a triceps kickback.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqn0J27xQ8U
to do a combo, instead of leaning all the way down, you lean down about half way and at the bottom of the kickback (when the dumbbell is closest to the floor) turn your hand so that it's palm out and do a biceps curl while still keeping your upper arm locked to your side. It takes a little practice to get it right, but it's an easy form once you get it.0 -
Much easier than I expected..Thank you for getting back to me0

Hey, don't say can't, do you KNOW you can't run? Even if it's only for 15 or 20 seconds of the minute. You want to go as hard as possible in this routine, so if you really can't run even a tiny bit, then walk as fast as you can (this is a rhetorical statement, you don't have to answer if it makes you feel uncomfortable). You can do almost anything for 20 seconds.
Totally agree with this. Don't say can't because you definitely CAN. Do what you can and repeat this is the way to build to more/longer. Trust me if I can do 30 day shred circuits at 290-300 lbs ANYONE can do this unless they have a physician telling them otherwise. It's mostly excuses and negative self talk.0 -

Well I gave this circuit training a shot on Saturday, and I made it,.... up to the point where I was supposed to run on the treadmill. Didn't quite make it to that point as been having some leg and knee issues and didn't want to push it. So, I kind of modified it to my situation and made it two rounds before I switched back to my regular routine. Hardest part for me was the planks - my whole body was shaking.
So, I've got the info stored in my gym bag, and will try it again when I'm feeling the need for a challenge and a change... Will keep trying that running thing once my leg and knee get back to a more normal state0
