Within this video, Jen Widerstrom, celebrity trainer and author of Diet Suitable for Your Personality Type, guides you thru a number of supersets, or pairs of exercises that are performed back-to-back without rest and behave as a group to tone and strengthen the body fast and efficiently.?
Each of Widerstrom’s movement pairs start with an isometric hold, which is a static exercise made to “pre-exhaust” parts of your muscles. The 2nd 1 / 2 of the superset is really a complementary active exercise that shapes and defines your muscles.?
Widerstrom’s superset workout consists of five exercise pairs:
- Plank Twist + Push-Up
