25 Min Total Body Workout // Supersets is and intense total body strength workout from Heather Robertson. She packs a lot into 25 minutes! Most of the strength exercise are compound move sthat works the entire body in a single exercise. This limits the weight of dumbbells you can use. But even with lighter dumbbells I was wearing out by the end of the supersets My legs were really feeling it during the last superset! The exercises are all done interval style: 45 seconds of work followed by 15 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.
