Ten Each Kick-Ass Routine


Ten Each
  • Perform each exercise 10 times with as little rest as possible until you complete one full cycle.  
  • Take a 2:00 minute break and repeat full cycle 2 more times.
  • Always check with you doctor before performing any new exercise routine. Warm up a few minutes before starting, take a break if you need it and always stop if experiencing any pain.  This is an INTENSE routine, and fairly advanced.  Modify wherever needed.
