I don’t know about you but I’m busier than ever these days. Sometimes I just don’t have the time to go to the gym but I want to get a great workout. Although there are a lot of home-based workouts on the internet, I want to give you one that I’ve actually used personally and with my clients.
This isn’t some workout I wrote up because it sounds cool and interesting. This is a workout that is proven to get results! Core, strength and interval exercises to tighten up your midsection, build a little muscle, and burn fat. Don’t believe me? No problem! Try it for 4-6 weeks and see for yourself!
WARM UP:
5-10 minutes of walking, light jogging or calisthenics (break a light sweat)
CORE:
1. Front Plank 4 sets 30 sec hold – 30 sec rest between sets
2. Side Plank 2 sets each side 30 sec hold – 30 sec rest between sets (do your weaker side first)
STRENGTH:
A1 – Alternating Stepping Lunges 3 sets 20 reps – 1 min rest then go to A2
A2 – Pushups (off knees if you can’t do full push ups) 3 sets 20 reps – 1 min rest then go back to A1
* Repeat until all sets are complete
B1 – Body weight Squats 3 sets 20 reps – 1 min rest then go to B2
B2 – Crunches 3 sets 20 reps – 1 min rest then go back to B1
* Repeat until all sets are complete
INTERVAL:
– 10-20 min (start with 10 then work your way up to 20) of 30 sec on/ 30 sec off. Go hard for 30 seconds then rest completely for 30 seconds. Make sure you don’t push too hard as you want to make the 10 minute mark here. If that’s too much, then start with 5 minutes.
*You can speed walk, run, or use high-knees if you have no equipment. You also can use jump rope or any piece of cardio equipment.
THAT’S IT! Now go try it out!
