Below you will find a series of exercises with the pics of what your suppose to be doing. I created this document because I was lost in the gym and I love visuals. (originally got the info from http://bodyforlife.com/
In between each set of reps you need to do a cardio exercise or a core exercise. In order words if you are doing upper body and start with Lat Pull downs after your first set of 12 you do jumping jacks. On the next set after your 10 reps you would do high knees, butt kicks, lunges, burpees, push ups, jumping squads or anything else you can think off at least 10 reps of each. between all set of reps (12,10,8,6). I recommended doing 20 reps of the cardio exercises in between but is entirely up to you.
The schedule should be:
Day 1: Upper body
Day 2: Cardio
Day 3: Lower body
Day 4: Cardio
Day 5: Upper body - I'm doing core on this day I will post those exercises later on.
Day 6: Cardio
Day 7: off
This is just a guidance you may do whatever you feel like doing just get your body moving!!!
