Work That Body Wednesday: Make it Over the Hump

Looking for something to get that body reved up? Here's a quick metabolic circuit workout designed to work your heart and tone your upper body. You can do it at home or at the gym. The circuit consists of high volume reps with cardio sets in between. The weight segments focus on conditioning the major  muscle groups of the upper body including back, biceps, chest, triceps, and shoulders.

Do the entire circuit 3 times with approximately 10 seconds of rest in between each exercise. It will take you roughly 20 minutes to get through the routine. Keep in mind you should begin any type of workout with a warm-up and end with a cool-down.

You will need a set of dumbells and a step (with or without risers):
