Full Workout Description Video @ Bottom of Post
Equipment: Weight for Leg and Ab work, bench or chair with a towel for cushion for leg work, pair of light weights for shoulder work (soup cans or pasta sauce jars would be just fine here - you don't need much!), and 2 sheets... but not why you think ;-)
