Low Weight, High Repetition Body Workout

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Utah chapter.

Looking for a low weight, high repetition overall body workout? Well, look no further.  This workout is sure to tone all areas of your body, but may leave you sore for a few days!

Begin workout with some light cardio: 

30 seconds of jogging in place

30 seconds of high knees

30 seconds of butt kicks

30 seconds of jumping jacks

30 seconds of burpees

Repeat each 30-second cardio workout twice for a total of 1 minute each.

Now you can begin your workout! Some exercises will require heavier weights, and others will require lighter ones.  It is up to you to know what weight your body is capable of. Don’t worry if you begin the reps with a heavier weight and as the workout continues you need to lower it. Do what is best for you!  I recommend breaking up the workout, possibly doing 10 to 25 sets of each, then moving onto a different movement.  This will keep you engaged and allow your body to recover.

100 shoulder presses using hand weights

100 kettlebell carries

500 meters on a rowing machine

100 jump squats

100 weighted lunges using hand weights

100 bicycle crunches

100 side raises using hand weights

50 box jumps

100 bicep curls using hand weights

100 tricep pullbacks using hand weights

100 side raises using hand weights

If you made it through the whole workout, congrats! Make sure to stretch out your muscles before you go home.
