Introduction
Looking to show off your sculpted arms on your wedding day? Of course, you are, you saucy warrior! Your flex will be the gravy on the turkey. Actually, I have no idea what that means, but this program will get you ready for the holiday photoshoot. Simple and straightforward… and pushing to failure is the theme of this no-nonsense traditional program. Perform the exercises in this order. Note the descriptions next to each exercise (e.g., hinging hips, etc.) and perform 12-15 reps for every exercise. Don’t forget to answer the questions in the “Assessment Section” after your workout. Even when working with a Denver personal trainer, reflecting on your fitness sessions is always essential.
