Total Body Timesaver Workout

This total body workout is for intermediate/advanced exercisers and involves supersets targeting the hips, glutes, thighs, chest, back and arms.  The exercises in each superset have been chosen to minimize the time between moves, allowing you to use the same weights and quickly change positions for a fast, efficient workout.  The supersets involve a lower body move followed immediately by an upper body exercise.  Perform each superset for 1-3 sets and modify as needed to fit your fitness level and goals.  See below for more guidelines.
