Butt Lifter and Tri Toner

Wooooohooooo, did I like this workout. Normally I wouldnt pair legs with arms, but I might just have to start doing it more often, because it was a great workout. Since Im getting my wisdom teeth out Friday, I figured I needed to get in as many good workouts before then that I can haha and my bis, back and chest were still sore from earlier workouts this week, so all that was left was triceps and I decided to pair that with my leg workout. I know Im gonna sleep well tonight :)

The workout is simple(ish) every exercise is 20 reps with the exception of the timed exercises. Try and take as little rest between exercises as you can(I tried to stay under 30 sec rest). Well, what are you waiting for?? Get to it!
