Drop Set Strength Workout with Amy Bento Ross

A well rounded strength and conditioning workout for the intermediate to advanced fitness enthusiast. Amy covers all muscle groups in this workout applying the drop set method of strength training. You have three sets per exercise and use three different weight selections to achieve the work load. This is a solid, straightforward workout with fun music and great form pointers. You don't need a ton of equipment or fancy gimmick tools. This is a one on one training session with one of most motivating instructors in the business. Train your body to change with drop set strength.

Contains 3 pre-mixes!
Equipment needed: 3 sets of dumbbells (various weights), mat and stability ball optional.

Each segment targets a specific muscle group with a diverse series of “drop set” exercises. You'll start with heavy weights/few reps and end with light weights/more reps. It's a challenging technique that maximizes results by carefully sequencing the intensity. Amy makes it interesting by varying the positions and movements between each drop (e.g. straight arms for the heaviest dumbbells, overhead arms for the lightest). She also incorporates multi-muscle exercises and non-weight routines like push-ups (as always, in drop-sets — starting on your toes and finishing on your knees). The program ends with a well-deserved stretch. Ideally uses three sets of dumbbells (e.g. 5, 10 and 20 lb.), but two sets will also work. A stability ball is used during the stretch.
