Cooldown:
Random Stretches
The whole thing took under 45 minutes and totally kicked my butt. Alternating sets (going back and forth between exercises) lets you do twice as much work in the same amount of time. Pairing those exercises with an upper/lower or upper/lower/abs scheme keeps you heart pumping HARD for the whole workout.
The net sum is that your metabolism is seriously ramped up after this type of workout, with no wasted time
