This 10 minute workout is totally abs focused with 10 back to back abs exercises. 4 of the exercises are bodyweight but 6 of them are done with my Ugi. I love my Ugi, but if you don’t have one you can substitute another another weighted object for it. I did this yesterday and am feeling it today and I keep getting urges to get up and do it again! So, I say success!! || Read more
I am on a pull up kick this week and this pull up workout is great when you are having an urge to practice your pull ups. It is made up of 5 reps of pull ups interspersed with 20 reps of different bodyweight exercises. I can only do a few pull ups at a time now, and the recovery of doing other exercises gives just enough of a break to be able to do them again. Even so, my pull ups were steadily going downhill throughout the workout, especially after the push ups! ..and I am feeling it today, in a good way, especially in the lats. I love building those, gives a great shape to the body! ; )
This quick little nifty workout is made up of 7 exercises and takes only 8 minutes to complete. Great to get your system revved up and your metabolism boosted. Sometimes on a busy day one short workout is all you need to get your fitness in. It’s the initial parts of the workout that are most effective and so even though this is a short workout, if you put a lot into it you can get a lot out of it! || Read more

We’re working on pull ups today. The pull up bar is out!! It’s been awhile since I have done any pull ups and so this one is a tough one for me. But I am on it! Pull ups are great for upper body strength and for developing your lats, the upper-side back muscles that give you a great shape! Also it gives you a sense of power to be able to lift yourself up, and it’s a great survival skill if you ever find yourself dangling off a building or cliff. || Read more
This workout is a designed with clean lines and elegant styling. ; ) It is made up of 2 parts, both are 4 minutes of interval training and both have 2 exercises which you alternate doing for each round. I used my sandbag for one of the exercises in each round, if you don’t have a sandbag you can use a dumbbell, kettle bell, medicine ball or another weighted object instead.
Doing different reps of exercises in interesting combinations make a workout go by fast. Your mind is kept so busy thinking of what to do next and you can easily lose track of time so that before you know it, you are done. This workout took me almost 22 minutes to complete. It is made up of 2 parts. The burpee part – 4 reps of each of 3 different types of burpees – is done 3 times: before, in between, and after the interval parts. Lots of core and ab exercises in this one! || Read more
