The first video is intended for you to do in a gym where you have access to the necessary equipment.

The other two videos are body weight workouts that can be done anywhere – in a gym, at home, or while traveling.

Feel free to mix and match or stick with just one of these.

My suggestion is that you do anywhere from 1-4 sets, depending on how much time you have.
