8 Week Fitness Training Program
Instructions: Exercises that appear in the same color block are performed one after the other WITHOUT any rest. When you have completed the color sequence you take the rest as given. Thus you will want to set up exercises in advance. When you progress to two sets, you complete one set first and then complete the second one.
