Air Bike

Jog in place for 30 secs-1 minute

Rest 30 secs- one minute

and repeat for 2-4 full sets

You will be resting each bodypart when you change exercises which allows you to get a lot done in short period of time.

You can do this workout once or twice a week, allow enough time for your body to recover. If you are sore you are not ready to do it again as your body is still rebuilding.

The dumbbell squats...I have a question. The young woman in the pictures is showing her knees bent to a 45 degree angle yet her dumbbells are not yet on the ground. The description has us squatting to the point the dumbbells do touch the floor. Is this safe for our knees?
