Trisets... every 1st and 3rd exercise I are exactly the same!!! The timer will be on for 30 seconds per exercise, so each triset is 1 min 30 seconds in duration with 30 seconds rest in between each triset! For this leg session, you will need a dumbbell/pair of dumbbells (though I expect you won’t be using them a lot!), a wall for wall sits and your mat! The dumbbell I am using for your reference is 25kg.

The timer will be on for a majority of the workout for 45 seconds of work, 15 seconds rest, occasionally it will be 50 seconds of work, 10 seconds rest. It is important to go at your own pace. This applies to all the exercises. You will notice I perform each movement pretty slow... controlling the movement makes the weight feel a lot heavier, particularly on the lowering portion!

Making 1 taco at a time, lightly dip two corn tortillas into the top part of the consomé liquid and place on top of each other in a cast-iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

At this point you can also add on diced onions and cilantro, but that part is optional. Cook for a minute or two and then fold the taco over to help form it. Cook for about one more minute. Repeat the process until all of the meat has been used. Serve each taco with a small bowl of the consomé liqu
