Sculpted arms and a toned abs -- that's the goal of this 45-MINUTE ARMS AND ABS Workout!
This workout is a 'drop set' format -- meaning we'll reduce reps with each additional set. This is a great way to challenge yourself with heavy weights. You'll do the most intense set (in terms of how many reps there are) at the beginning of the workout, and then drop reps as you start to fatigue.
