Rupe’s YoB: Phase III-Day 1(M29) – Arms

Narrative:
This is the first execution of the new workout routine that will mark the third phase of Year of the Body.  These routines will take me through the end of the year.  The major focus will be to increase cardio and shaping of my body.  Notice the high number of reps.  I have lowered the weights and increase the reps tremendously; that will allow the muscle to get toned. I have also increased or extend my overall tracker. 

Abdominal Exercises:
As stated above, in this workout you should train your abs at the end of each session. Use these exercises:

  1. Oblique (L and R) Crunches – 4 sets of 25 reps
  2. Hanging Leg Raises – 4 sets of 25 reps
  3. Lying Left  Crunches – 4 sets of 25 reps
  4. Lying Center Crunch – 4 sets of 25 reps
  5. Lying Right Crunch – 4 sets of 25 reps
