4 Firm and Burn Whole Body Workouts
This marks the final installment of our Find Your Fit workouts—a series of routines that focus on key areas of your body. If you’ve been following along all year, congrats! You’re no doubt feeling stronger and looking more toned. But don’t stop now! “Strength training is important for your health, and key for losing weight, since muscle requires more energy to maintain than fat,” explains David Otey, a certified strength and conditioning coach and the personal training manager at Equinox Sports Club in NY.
To continue building strength, we’ve combined moves from all the Find Your Fit workouts to create four complete, total-body routines. By combining moves from each one, you can target your legs, abs, arms, butt, and back in one quick session. We’ve taken away all the guesswork. Add cardio exercise three times a week (walking, biking— you know the drill) and you’ve got a complete muscle-sculpting program you can use for years to come.
