Twelve MInute Strength Couplets

Friday is a strength day, so we will be slowing things down a bit from yesterday’s Training Room conditioning circuit with twelve minute strength couplets.

This one is meant to be done a slower pace and feel free to go as heavy as you want with focus on the movement.

Just like most of our strength sessions at The Training Room, we will finish with a cardio kicker to kick off your Friday!

Ladder up and repeat for 12 minutes

Go from 1-5, or 2-10 reps (depending on the movement and the amount of weight used)
