My goal for the next 4 weeks is to lose 10 pounds. Yes…10 pounds. I will be kicking my ass into high gear starting today and going through the next 4 weeks in order to lose 10 pounds. This will no doubt be my toughest workout program to date but I can’t wait to get started!

We got our most recent issue of Muscle and Fitness Magazine and they have a “Lose 10 Pounds Program” featured inside this month. It’s complete with a strength training workout schedule, a cardio schedule AND nutrition information as well. For this post I’m just going to show you what the workout program consists of and then I’ll follow up soon with the cardio schedule. (probably tomorrow)

Here’s the suggested workout program by Muscle & Fitness Magazine:

*Complete 4 sets of each of the following exercises. Perform 6-8 reps for each of the first 2 sets and 15-20 reps for the last 2 sets. (eek!)

Days 1 & 4 – Chest, Triceps and Abs

Incline Dumbbell Press
Bench Press
Decline Smith Machine Press
Incline Dumbbell Pullover

And that’s IT. LOL
