Workout

If you ever find yourself looking to switch up your workout or need a semi-quick total body workout try this, Peripheral Heart Action Training System.  Peripheral Heart Action Training System is a form of resistance training performed in a circuit fashion (or little rest between exercises). The Peripheral Heart Action Training System requires you to perform multiple exercises in rapid succession, but alternating between upper and lower body exercises. This helps facilitate circulation to various muscles and helps you burn extra calories compared to traditional weight lifting.

This the way it works.  That you work each body part separately one right after the other.  I know the definition above says one thing but, for strength training I like to do it slightly different.  The order for weight lifting is: Legs, chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, legs.  

Here's a sample workout.  I normally do 10 reps per exercise with moderate weight and run through it 3 times 

Legs -- Squat
Chest -- Chest Press
Back -- Bent over Row
Shoulders -- Arnold Press
Biceps -- Curl
Triceps -- Overhead Tricep Extension
Legs -- Deadlift

Looking for a high intensity version of this? Do each exercise for 45 seconds and repeat 3 times through.

Lower -- Squat jack
Upper -- shoulder taps
Lower -- Walking Lunges
Upper -- medicine ball toss
Lower -- Banded Side Shuffles
Upper -- Kettlebell Swings
Lower -- Bear Crawl


You don't have to use the same exercises I suggested.  You can switch them out for ones you enjoy more.
