Did you know that you can continue to burn calories long after you’ve stopped exercising by doing the right exercises?

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.

Here is where you get to create the Ultimate Woman Workout! You could easily pick up your hand weights and start doing arm curls or triceps extensions but that is only going to give you mediocre results. If you want super results in a shorter amount of time you need to try whole body exercises or high intensity interval training (aka circuit training). Both of these workouts encourage your muscles to burn more calories throughout the day than traditional exercises.

Whole body exercises work the major muscle groups of the body at the same time. For example, if you were to do a push up you would be working the upper body muscle groups of chest and arms, your core muscle group of abdominals, and your lower body muscle group of lower legs and feet. You would be using your entire body weight as resistance when going up and down in the exercise.

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.

It’s a good idea to always add weights to your workout rather than doing just an aerobic workout. And it’s an even better idea to include some partial whole body exercises with your weights. You could combine arm curls with squats or abdominal crunches.

Your muscles will feel the burn after your Complete Woman Workout Challenge so drink a glass of water with protein powder to help the rebuild quickly.
