For this week’s combo pack (meal plan & 5 workouts):

We all know I’m the worst at working my abs, so I have to stick to supersetting and circuits for abdominal work to keep it short, sweet AND effective!

Tip of the Day: So, why superset? Supersetting is another great technique to implement to break through a fitness plateau or to simply switch up your routine. Additionally, supersetting two movements enables you to complete two exercises one after the next with little to no rest in between, which 1) creates a deeper muscle engagement/breakdown by increasing the intensity of the exercises and 2) elevates your heart rate, providing cardiovascular benefits. Another great benefit of supersetting is, similar to circuit training, the total time of the workout is decreased! Couldn’t we all use a little bit more time in a day?!
