Double up your training

Are you bored with doing the same old squat, lunges, lateral raises, bicep curls. Same old position, same old pace and probably the same old results. So why not spice it up a bit and do 2 movements at the same time? this way you can be more efficient in the gym so you can have more time enjoying the sunny days outside!

These movements are for those who want to increase their fitness and tone, and ideal for those who want to tone up for summer. It aims to increase heartrate and therefore its like doing cardio at the same time - less time on the bike sounds good doesn't it people?!! Try doing 4 sets 10-12 reps with 90sec rest in between, by the end you're sure to have pumps in your muscles and a great cardio workout as well.

The following are a few exercises as demonstrated by our Supergirl Amor Kisling, who's aiming to look super for a contest later this year.

		Jump Squat Instead of just squatting up and down, try jumping up from your squat. This is a great plyometric workout for your glutes and you'll feel the burn in your buns for days!
		Rear Lunge with dumbell curl Do your biceps and glutes at the same time. Curl dumbells up while doing rear lunges. 10 reps each leg while bicep curling, you won't know what hurts more, legs or biceps.
		Standing lunge with dumbell press Again don't just lunge, do single arm dumbell press too. Use a weight that's relatively challenging to give your delts a good hardcore workout.
		Standing lunge with Front and Side lat raise OK this is going to be challenging for those who may not be so co-ordinated! While lunging down, raise one dumbell to front while other goes to side. After 10 reps of one leg, change legs and arms so the other arm is in front and other is to side.
		Shoulder Press and Bicep Curl Again, you need to use a weight that's going to test you. While you do shoulder press, curl up dumbell at same time.

Side Lunge with Lateral Raise
Start with arms at side (ie middle picture) then take your leg back to one side while bringing opposite dumbell to foot, then go back to middle, then take the other leg back. Great for delt burn and cardio for your legs.
