Get Lean, Trim-Down Fitness Workout
Laree's
8-Week
Trim Down
Drop your calories by 100-200 calories per day by cutting out *one* item of unnecessary or junk food. Then do the following, making your own necessary adjustments that will allow you to continue this routine for two full months.
Every
workout:
10-minute cardio warmup
5-minute rotator cuff and knee bend warmup
Crunches 3x15 (slow and focused) supersetted with leg raises 3x15
Then superset everything else in the workout, moving as quickly as you can. By the end of the 8 weeks, this is expected to be non-stop. Grab a gulp of water between supersets and keep going.

That's it. Yes, that does say legs & chest/back three times a week, so don't even write in to ask. The reps are high, the speed is fast, so the weight is light. There aren't a ton of exercises, and yes, I do plan to do this and believe that this much light leg work will trim up the entire body. Let's test it out!
