"Epic Fail"

No one likes to fail.  In fact, many people don't try things in life because of their fear of failure.  However, if you don't ever try something you won't ever do it.  Working out and pushing yourself toward fitness goals is tough but it is possible...you just have to do it.  One way I like to look at exercises is that if I do fail, my body has been challenged. In fact, taking your muscles to failure is a very good way to build strength.  This workout uses strength building concepts but we also tweaked it to cater to those that wanted to tone.  We did 2 rounds of 10 exercises with an active "break" in the middle.  We did all exercises to failure.  Go at your own pace but try to finish as quickly as possible (to increase cardiovascular endurance).
