I made up these 3 workouts for 2 female friends t. ive run them through these a few times now.. i set it up as a circuit, keeps the heart rate up.
they also want to gain a little muscle to give them some shape as the both tall and skinny ectomorphs. so i told them to do muscle do the same routine but just add a touch more weight and dont have to go as fast with it. they have 3 options just to mix it up a bit and keep it from getting boring. esentially they almost the same workout just using different exercises. hope these help in some program ideas
