Maxiclimber Full-Body Workout: Weightlifting VS. Cardio
Posted by JOSE ADRIAN RUIZ


Start with Cardio on Your MaxiClimber

Try Some of These Weightlifting Combos

Squat and Calf Raise
- Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart. Point your toes slightly away from your core.
- If you are using a barbell, place it across your traps. If you are using hand weights, hold them in a press level with your traps or hold them level with your shoulder and complete a press above your head along with the movement. You can even start this move without weights and add weight later.
- Hinging from your hips, drop into a comfortable squat. The great thing about this movement is that you can go as low as you need to and adapt to what works best for you.
- As you return to standing to complete your squat, raise your calves by moving up onto the balls of your feet.
- Drop back down to your heels.
- Repeat.
Biceps Curl and Shoulder Press
- Stand straight while holding a set of hand weights in each hand even with your hips.
- With palms facing up, curl the weights toward your body. You should feel the movement in your biceps.
- As you complete the bicep curl, move seamlessly into a shoulder press by rotating your palms outward and pushing your hands straight into the air above your head.
- Lower your arms back through the movement in reverse.
- Repeat.
Reverse Lunge and Step-Up
- Find a bench or other elevated surface in your workout area. You can even complete this move using a staircase.
- Standing in front of the bench with a pair of dumbbells in each hand.
- Place your hands at your hips with palms facing inward.
- Reverse lunge by stepping back with your right leg.
- Bring your right leg forward out of the lunge, and place it on top of the bench.
- Move as if you were going to step up onto the bench with your left leg, but do not fully place your left foot onto the bench.
- Bring your right leg down off the bench.
- Step back into another reverse lunge using the right leg.
- Return to a standing position.
- Repeat for the opposite leg.
