July Workouts
Time for an upper body makeover! This fast and effective arms and abs workout is one of my current favorites! For best results, do this workout on two or three nonconsecutive days per week, alternating with cardio and lower body.
For each exercise perform 1-3 sets of 15 reps.

July Bonus Content With Coach Alycia:
The Ultimate Giant Set Workout
For this one, Alycia Gillis—marathon runner, strength coach and Fitness Director at the Snowmass Club—is formatting things a little differently than you are used to, combining 3-4 exercises that work completely different body parts—such as triceps, back, and quads—allowing you to tone the entire body quickly. This type of circuit training is called a “Giant Set”.
Giant Sets are a form of strength training in which you move quickly from one exercise to a separate exercise without taking a break for rest in between the exercises. Typically, you will take a brief break to catch your breath or grab a drink of water between sets of an exercise. But when doing a Giant Set, you move from one set to another without a break.
Using exercises that work the body from head to toe, we put together 3 Giant Sets for you including video instruction. I think you are going to love it!
BEFORE STARTING THIS WORKOUT:
Do a 10 minute warm up to prepared the body for more intense exercise. To warm up you can do one of your Ultimate Core Workouts, spin on a bike, jump rope, or go out for a brisk walk or jog to warm up the body.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Perform each movement for 10-20 reps, then go straight into the next. Do three sets, resting 90 seconds between each. You’ll need some space in your home to get sweaty, a set of medium-weight dumbbells, and an exercise band if you have one.
