Monday Workout: Multi!

I love my multi-joint exercises because they get a lot done in a short amount of time.  Take, for example, the suitcase swings that we do first this week.  We use our ankles, knees, hips, and shoulders to do the major motions, while the rest of our joints work, along with our core musculature, to stabilize everything.  The more muscles we work at once, the more calories we burn and the more we amp up that metabolic system.  Then, of course, we have eight more exercises to go.  (This is why we get tired at the end!)  Do three rounds, squeeze in a little stretching, and make sure to get some water.
