Please Note: Before beginning routine, please ensure you are healthy enough to perform such exercises. Also, please adjust weight according to your own fitness levels. Weight suggestions are merely guidelines (we tend to lift additional weight varying with our skill level and intensity). Machine Assisted merely means that we advocate using a machine for this exercise vs. free weights.

Let us be your personal trainers with our detailed 4, 6 and 12-week She Sweats Workout plans! We guide your workout each day, telling you exactly what to do and what intensity to work at. We have everything you need! Find out more!

Warmup: 5 Minute Treadmill Brisk Walk – 4.0-4.3 MPH or take a 5 Minute Ride on the Elliptical

Seated Cable Pulldowns  

Focus on squeezing your back together as you pull down on each rep. Each cable machine is different depending on your gym. If there is simply a one-digit number or plates only to measure how much you are lifting, find out how much each weighs and work accordingly.

  • 15x – 50lbs
  • 10x – 60lbs
  • 8x – 65lbs

Standing Tricep Cable Pressdowns

Do NOT use your momentum on this exercise – you WON’T see results!

  • 20x – 20lbs
  • 20x – 25lbs
  • 20x – 25-30lbs depending on your fitness level

Seated Cable Row

It is INCREDIBLY important that you have proper form on these or you can injure yourself quickly and easily. Ask a trainer at your gym to check your form if you are unsure you are doing them correctly.

  • 15x – 55lbs
  • 12x – 65lbs
  • 10x – 70lbs

Lying Skull Crushers w/ EZ Curl Bar or Weighted Bar

  • 20x – 30lbs total bar weight
  • 20x – 30lbs total bar weight
