Fitness Safari

If you're a 125 lb woman like me, grab a 30 or 40 lb barbell and do the following circuit with no rest between exercises: 10 Romanian Deadlifts (stiff-legged) 10 Bent Over Rows 10 Hang Cleans 10 Push Presses 10 Front Squats (using your hands/shoulders, hold barbell up against your upper chest/neck) 10 Lunges (ea. leg) with barbell behind your head resting across your shoulders. Rest 1-3 minutes. Repeat entire circuit 2-4 more times. I did this 4 x's with a 40 lb barbell (except for the push press I used the 30) and one more time through the entire circuit with the 30 and I could barely walk on the stairmaster! I was flushed, hot, sweaty and my legs were shaking. Even now, at my desk 3 hours later, my shoulders are feeling it. Followed this routine with a 30-minute walk on a slight incline and called it a day. This circuit seems like it would be nice to throw in a couple of times a week for fat-burning instead of just running intervals. It's the equivalent of HIIT training ...
