Exercises
Gym List
The exercises on the following list can be done in any combination. It is a good idea to superset two or three of them together to give each muscle group recovery time while working on the others. You should be aiming to do 3 sets of 8-10 reps of each exercise at 80% of your 1-rep maximal load.
Start with a warm up, then cardiovascular work (for example 10 minutes running on a treadmill). Add a conditioning section at the end, such as boxing, step-ups, sprint, pushes, or ERGs. Then conclude with a cool down: perhaps 5 mins walking on a treadmill.
