I Tried a New Exercise: 30/60/90 at Equinox
Just after I declared my three-week vacation from running, my friend Vicky got in touch with me to find out if I wanted to try some exercise classes at Equinox with her. What perfect timing! I was on a break from running and on the hunt for new, workouts. My reply was an immediate “Yes!”
She signed us up for the club’s “30/60/90″ group exercise class, which is a high intensity interval workout created by Kristi Molinaro that combines cardio, strength training, plyometrics, and static holds. In other words, it is a KILLER workout.
Try this exercise!
Seated Dips: I swear, almost every female client I’ve ever worked with has lifted her arm, pointed at the underneath part that runs from the underarm to the elbow, then jiggled it at me and said, “I want to get rid of that!”
That is your tricep muscle, and while you cannot “get rid of it,” you can strengthen it and build it so that it’s less “flabby” and more defined by adding tricep exercises like this one to your routine.
Keep in mind though! You CANNOT spot reduce fat. Doing this exercise will not specifically reduce the fat in your arms, it will simply strengthen the targeted muscle. Where our bodies lose fat first is genetic, which is why you’ll need to incorporate full-body strength training and cardio exercise in order to reduce total body fat and reveal more muscle definition.
Beginners, start with 3 sets of 10 reps and slowly work your way up to 15, 20, 30 reps etc. For a more advanced version, try it with one leg raised off the floor and extended forward!
Legs, biceps, and shoulders!
This is my workout from earlier today. Leave no rest between exercises, and only 30-60 seconds rest between each circuit. For more of a challenge, increase your weight and decrease the number of reps with each circuit.
(For the walking hip abductions, do 24 reps, 12 in each directions.)
