Gym Boss Timer

For the past couple of months I have been using a Gym Boss Timer to keep track of rest periods for myself and clients. I wasn't sure about it at first I had read about it on another website and decided to check it out. It has helped to decrease the amount of time I spend in the gym and is providing a better workout. It also works great for interval training, which can be difficult to do using an ordinary timer. I highly recommend getting yourself one if you don't already have one. If you are interested in getting one go to gymboss.com.

Dynamic Warm-Up

At the start of each workout you must warm-up. Warming up properly prepares your muscles for what is about to come. By warming up you will have a better workout, be able to lift more, and decrease your chance for injury. The following is a typical warm-up that I use:

1) Push Up
2) Squat
3) Bent-Over Row
4) RDL
5) Standing Shoulder Press
6) Inverted Row
7) Lunge Around the World
8) Curtsey Lunge
9) DB Swing

Perform each exercise one after the other with no rest in between and for 10 reps each, except for Lunge Around the World go around twice.
