Rachel Cosgrove's Total-Body Workout

Lose weight fast with this training plan!

Personal trainer Rachel Cosgrove, owner of Results Fitness in California, created a built-to-burn strength-training routine exclusively for WH. Each move works multiple muscle groups, so you'll burn a ton of kilojoules and rev your metabolism into high gear for 24 to 48 hours afterward.

Back Row

Tie an exercise band to something sturdy at shoulder height. Grasp the band in your right hand and get into lunge position with left foot forward, until arm is straight and band is taut. Pull the band while rotating your body 180 degrees, until both feet are facing forward and your right hand is at chest-height, touching your shoulder. Do 10 reps on each side.

Your workouts used to have a "printable" version, which was so useful, but not anymore? Please wont you start doing that again. Thanks

excellent - do skipping for a minute in between each exercise and it's a boot camp!
