Total Body Lift

Happy Mardi Gras! A friend of mine is cooking dinner, but I managed to escape work a bit early to sneak in a workout -- with all the restaurants and drinking of the past 2 weeks and a weekend in New Orleans coming up, I need all the help I can get!

I stole this workout off The Fitnessista -- it's the workout for week 3 of her 'Winter Shape Up 2013' series. It's supposed to be paired with a HIIT workout, but unfortunately I don't have time today. Next time!

The workout is accomplished by doing the first 'monster set' 3 times, resting 1:00 between sets, then doing the second set 3 times, again with 1:00 rest.

Comments
Note to self: work on your triceps, they suck at life. Just as you feared. Also your biceps, because they should be able to handle 15 pounds, no problem, and this was definitely a bit of a struggle. Also a memo to the world: if you're not actively using the machine, I'm allowed to ask to jump in for a quick set. There's no need to give me the evil eye.
