It is getting to that time of year when it is just about shorts and bathing suit weather. This is a good time to talk about some hints to get a little more bang for your buck when it comes to your workouts.
There is a little circuit that you can do first thing in the morning if you want to get in an extra little cardio burn. In fact, a client emailed me one day and said she was going to do it throughout the day in her office. Remember, you don't need fancy equipment or gym to get in a workout. You don't need a lot of time either. 15 minutes will get you a quick little burn happening!
Here it is again:
- Squats 30 sec – 1 minute;
- Push ups 30 sec – 1 minute;
- Forward or Rear Lunges – 30 seconds each leg;
- Isoabs (plank) hold for 30 seconds.
Repeat this circuit 3-4 times through.
**Note this workout is time related instead of reps.
