Quick Fix: Legs and Arms Workout Minna Lessig 2001

The three 10minute workouts in Quick Fix Legs Arms target arms and legs in an effective and varied sequence of exercises. The first workout works both arms and legs together with quickly changing, multiplemuscle exercises using a set of three to eightpound dumbbells. For example, you are lunging with the legs and doing a combination for the shoulders and triceps at the same time. The second workout offers powerful lowerbody exercises using body weight: lunges, squats, pliés, and leg extensions. The third is a weight workout for the upper body, switching muscle groups nonstop for an effective workout even in 10 minutes. Each workout has its own short warmup, so you can do these on separate days. With whole workouts squeezed into 10 minutes, the quick stretches at the end aren t adequateadd more on your own. Instructor Minna Lessig and her two fit assistants demonstrate the exercises well. If you are limited in time and you want to work out effectively, this is a good choice. Joan Price
