RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

LADIES, to get lean & tone faster, you have to weight train! This video is how a female should NOT strength train, but is how most of you do. This is low intensity bodybuilding = the least effective way to get the results you want. If done on machines, you're in an isolated position, which is not how your body moves. HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING is how women should exercise to get lean & tone quickly.

HIIT Examples:

1) Do 60sec of reverse lunges while doing dumbbell bicep curls, then with no rest in between do 60sec of side to side pushups. Then rest 60sec and repeat for three sets.

2) Do 60sec sit/stand on a chair/bench while doing dumbbell shoulder presses, then with no rest in between get in a pushup position and for 60sec do a jumping jack. Then rest 60sec and repeat for three sets.

HIIT is the quickest & most effective way to get lean & tone! Google/YouTube it for more info.
