TGIF… Start your weekend right with a killer back attack workout with a mix of glutes.  This should be a workout that lasts no more than 45-60 minutes if the rest sequence is followed as listed below! 

**All sets in this workout are to start with a light to medium weight for the first set and then progress in weight without compromising form or remain with a challenging weight.

**When moving from exercise to exercise or waiting between sets keep the rest no more than 60 seconds.  Always keep the tempo of the exercise the same ‘1-2-3’ as you start and ‘1-2-3’ as you end.

Tabata Warm-up:  Jumping Air Squats (30 seconds on, 30 seconds off x 3 rounds)
