For this workout I went back into the vaults. I first did this one last April and decided to do it again. This bodyweight workout has 3 parts; 2 are each 6 minutes of interval training and each has different exercises and then there is a time challenge in between them, which took me 6 minutes and 12 seconds. So all together the workout is just over 18 minutes. I thought it has a nice combo of great exercises. Try it out and get your raw sweat on!
This workout can be done in under 15 minutes. It is a 10 minute sandbag interval training workout with some great new sandbag exercises, sandwiched between 10 walking plank burpees done just before and just after the intervals. So get out your sandbags and let’s get started! || Read more
This 12 minute interval based workout is a flow between 6 exercises, each of which you do 3 times. This workout has, and starts with, pull ups. It is a tough exercise but one that builds great upper body strength, especially working the lat muscles to give you that V shape which emphasises your waist. & Hey, they are just a cool exercise and it is awesome to be able to do them! They take care of the 1st interval, get them out of the way and then move onto the next 5 fun -let’s move that body – dynamic exercises. Lots of great variety here. So, let’s get that heart pumping and do this! || Read more
This workout took me just slightly over 15 minutes and is made up of 2 parts. The first part alternated skipping with an ab exercise. If you can not skip, substitute high knees or another cardio exercise. The second part is 9 minutes of intervals, alternating 3 exercises, each done 3 times. This workout has lots of cardio, which is great to get the heart rate up, interspersed with core focused exercises.
This time challenge Ugi workout is really core and abs focused. It has 5 rounds and each round has 40 reps of a different Ugi crunch exercise, as well as a newly designed way to get more burpees in. This innovative burpee strategy worked for me to give them a bit of a new twist. The accompanying squats provide a little extra leg and butt work and it never hurts to do a little extra work on those! Well, it may hurt a bit the next day, but you’ll look fabulous for it and feel great when you look in the mirror. Really we know that being fit is most important for our health and the benefits of these short workouts are worth it to feel great on the inside.. but it’s a serious bonus to look great outside too! || Read more
