Quick question... With the way these workouts are set up is it intended that you complete one exercise before moving to the next or is it intended for you to do one set of each then go back and repeat the cycle?
ReplyDeleteHi Jamie!
DeleteComplete one entire group of exercises before moving to the next one. It's not designed as a circuit, but to fatigue each muscle group and then allow for rest from that particular muscle before you work it again.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI can't get my hands on cable machines. Is their any alternatives I can use, such as weights machines or dumbbells with some of the exercises? Thanks!
It's great to find out a whole exercise program dedicated to women. For me it seems a bit hard to do, but i will try it since i wnat to add some muscle mass.
