Power Hour!! 60MIN No Repeat Workout (Full Body // Dumbbells)

Yay! Heather Robertson did another hour long, no repeat, total body strength workout–with some cardio thrown in at the end. This workout is made up of 3 circuits: a lower body circuit, an upper body circuit and a core + cardio circuit. It is broken up into thirds in that manner, too. You get a 30 second recovery between each third of the workout. But it is also a metabolic workout–you get some upper body work in your lower body circuit, some lower body work in your upper body circuit and your heart rate remains elevated through out. It is another excellent and thorough total body metabolic strength workout that worked me well. The exercises are done interval fashion: each exercise is done for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of recovery. There is a timer in the lower right hand corner of the screen, counting down your intervals and recoveries. Heather previews the next exercise during the recovery.
