Have you ever looked at a body builder and said to yourself, “it would be cool to look like that”? How many people actually act on that desire?
Cass Martin is one of those people who sees what she wants, and makes moves to get them. That’s what got her started with bodybuilding, and she hasn’t looked back.
Here are some training tips from a real life Super Woman.
What workout routine has worked best for you?
When it comes to my training, the basic movements have worked best for me. I like to use a lot of free weights, and I tend to mimic the training styles of my favorite bodybuilders. Currently, I train one body part a day, once a week with the exception of my legs. I hit my legs twice a week.
