Focus on Two

If you want to build muscle, you've got to break down muscle!  If you want to burn calories, you've got to give them something to be used on!  When I really want to get a good burn and push it a little more, I like to focus on just 2 muscle groups per circuit.... and why not do some more core work while we're at it???   Have fun!!

Complete 3 rounds of each circuit.  The assigned repetitions are listed on each exercise.
