"For the ladies who like training in the gym, this workout is for you!" Itsines writes in the caption of her post. This workout requires a barbell, kettlebell and bench seat. Take weights only as heavy as it challenging for you, but not so heavy that interferes with your exercise performance.
"I recommend finding a weight that feels around a 7 out of 10 in difficulty. The last few reps should feel difficult but not impossible. If you aren't sure, start with a lighter weight and increase it gradually until you reach the right level of difficulty," Itsines explains.
The legs and abs workout is divided in two circuits. Each circuit contains 3 exercises. You need to set a timer for 7 minutes for each circuit and do as many laps as possible.
