I have been trying a few new High intensity workouts lately, and I like the challenge. I get to burn calories faster, keep my heart rate up, and I am not worried about what is coming next. I am only worried about what I am currently trying to achieve. I am also starting to see some benefits. I will post some pictures soon, I am happy with the results and Summer Time Year Round Fineness/ Healthiness will be in effect! If you are looking for a beginner upper body challenge, well here you go! Once again, I got this wonderful workout from the ascent blog. Good luck and you can do it! I will be working out today with this workout!
