Super Supersets! (Part II)

Supersets never go out of style. If you have not yet read my first entry about supersets, in which I briefly explain what a superset is and why they're great, please go do that.

I've recently become an even greater fan of supersets because of how they abbreviate my workout. Since I work in a gym now, I have even less of a desire to spend extraneous time working out there. Therefore, my workouts are shorter, more intense, and just as (if not more) effective than the typical one-hour workout.

Here are some of my favorite supersets right now:

For Upper Body
1a.) Lat Pull-Down
1b.) Squat + Push-Press

For Lower Body
2a.) Step-ups
2b.) Bulgarian Split Squat

For Abs
3a.) Cable Woodchop
3b.) Bosu Tilts*

*For the bosu tilt, turn the bosu over so the flat side is facing up. Get in the up push-up position with your hands on the handles. Then, keeping your body in neutral alignment, tilt the bosu backwards and forwards.

So try running through those 3 supersets in a circuit and then repeat 2 or 3 times. It's simple, but certainly not easy.
