Monday Workout: Compound

I am getting more excited about compound exercises lately.  More joints moving means more calories burned in less time!  Hooray!  Today’s workout takes our usual bent-over rows and adds a tricep kickback at the end of the movement; use the weight for the kickback, which will feel light-ish for the row.  The squat press is exactly what it sounds like:  we squat down with some weights held at our shoulders and as we stand up, we press those weights overhead.  The spiderman pushup works like this:  we lower our body as for a normal pushup and then pull one knee toward the same side’s elbow.  Then we return to start and do the other side.  This is a shorter circuit, so do four rounds.
