RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

A great way to burn more calories with strength training is to do COMPOUND MOVEMENTS = using upper & lower body together. Examples: squats with a free weight or med ball chest or shoulder press, or walking lunges with a free weight or med ball bicep curl. Any time we can use upper & lower body at the same time it'll be more intense & elevate our heart rate higher which burns more calories.
