In order to have ripped and well sculpted muscles you need to know which exercises are going to give you the best results. You'll also want to know which exercises are going to help your muscles burn calories longer.
You could pick up a pair of hand weights and do some curls and eventually you will see results but the best results come from whole body exercises and circuit training. Here is where the Ultimate Woman Workout Challenge comes in! This workout is especially effective because your muscles continue to contract and relax for a good time after you have completed your workout which means you are still burning calories long after your workout.
When you do whole body exercises you are using your body weight as your resistance instead of using free weights or stationary weights. You also work the major muscle groups when doing whole body exercises. What that means is that if you were to do a push up, you would be using your chest and arm muscle groups, your stomach, lower legs and feet.
Circuit training is done by alternating short 3-4 minute routines of cardio and weights with very little rest between routines. For example you could start with a short 4 minute warm up and then go into 3 minutes of cardio such as kickboxing, jumping jacks or skipping rope. Then you would get your hand weights and do 3 minutes of arm raises or arm curls combined with lunges. Then repeat the cardio and so on until you have completed a full workout.
Instead of just doing an aerobic workout like you may have done in the past, add your hand weights into the mix. You can then add weights with major muscle group activities such as lunges or squats and really start burning those calories and sculpting those muscles.
After you have completed your Ultimate Woman Workout Challenge of whole body exercises or circuit training, drink a protein shake to help your muscles recover quicker.
