NO REPEATS Workout: Full Body Strength & Cardio // Day 40 HR12WEEK 2.0

No Repeats Workout: Full Body Strength & Cardio is Day 40 in Heather Robertson‘s 12 Week Program. This is another intense metabolic total body strength workout. As the title indicates, no exercise is repeated, which helps keep this workout interesting. If you have made it to day 40 of this program, you will recognize every single exercise performed, so not having to do them multiple times in the same workout is a blessing. Especially Carry Lunges! This is also a cardio + strength workout; cardio exercises are alternated with strength exercises throughout, though not in any set pattern. Since this workout is just under 44 minutes, I used Heather’s Standing Abs Workout // With Weights as a finisher. Between the two workouts I burned 450 calories! So lots of cardio with my strength work.

No Repeats Workout: Full Body Strength & Cardio is 43:47 minutes; 4 minute warm up and 5:30 minute stretch. Equipment: dumbbells and fitness mat. Heather is using 5, 10, 15 and 25 pound dumbbells. The weights listed below are what I used. The exercises are all done interval style: 40 seconds of work 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. During the recoveries Heather previews the next exercise. Heather shows a low impact versions of the exercises that have impact.
