WOW #13 (Workout of the Week)

This WOW (Workout of the Week) is based on a degression.  This can be accomplished by one of two scenarios; Scenario 1:  Start with a high number of reps and work your way down to zero reps.  For example, begin with 10 push ups, next round perform 9 push ups, then 8 and so on until you get to 0 reps.  Scenario 2:  Stay with the same number of reps, but this time you will decrease the amount of weight used with each round.  For example, you will do 10 squats each round but start heavy and decrease the weight used to squat each round.


WOW # 13  will incorporate Scanario 1:  Keep the same weight as we decrease in reps per round.  You ready?  Let's begin.
Do 10 reps of each exercise, then start over and perform 9 reps of each exercise, repeat until you are done:)  If you want more of a challenge, put 20 jumping jax in between each exercise. 

1-Push Ups
2-Bent Over Rows (Holding dumb bells in hands. Palms up and hands facing forward, bend at the waist making sure not to hump your back.  We must protect our back at all times. Raise dumb bells to waist and then hang them low, repeat 9 more times)
3-Overhead Should Dumb bell Press
4-Dumb bell Bicep Curls
5-Dumb bell Tricep Kickbacks
6-Squats (Dumb bell or Barbell)
7-Stiff Legged Dead Lifts

*This workout may take longer than usual.  If you want a challenge, try to finish quickly.
**Make sure you warm up before and stretch after a workout.
