Basic Body Burn III

BASIC BODY BURN III

Basic Body Burn III is a full body work-out designed for beginners. Don’t let it’s simplicity fool you though. You will definitely feel the burn, especially if you haven’t worked out in a long time! In fact, it is easily modified for those at a higher fitness level as well just by increasing reps or sets or by altering the movement. So feel free to keep this one in your rotation even as you advance.

For optimal results, keep your heart rate in the fat-burning zone by exercising at a level thats right for you throughout the work-out.
