Training In 15 Minutes

Like you at home, I even have days where I am pretty busy working on stuff and find it hard to squeeze a workout session in. Today I trained some sessions early in the day and the rest of the day I have been working diligently on new web content to add to my website, purchasing equipment for my 2 B FIT Camp starting in July and polishing up a business plan. By four o'clock I realized I had been sitting more than I like to in a day and decided to get down into the gym at my apartment complex and do a little light work. In fifteen minutes I got my heart rate up, my legs were burning and I was sweating all over! What did I do? Try this quick little 15 minute total body routine that will work a little cardio, posture and some strength:


Bodyweight Circuit Countdown:

Perform 10 reps of each exercise (except jumping jacks you double them because they are easy) in one complete circuit and once you are through, begin again only doing 9 reps (18 jumping jacks) and so on until 1.

Jumping Jacks (remember x 2)
Drop Lunge to Balance (reps on each leg)
Push Ups
Lateral Hops/Tuck Jumps (total hops)
repeat...

Without wasting too much time after you get to 1, begin three rounds of a simple Corrective Exercise Circuit as follows:

Single Leg Toe Touch x 10 each leg
Cobra + Superman Combo 1 minute (alternate between cobra and superman every 15 seconds)
Single Leg Hip Extensions x 10 each leg

Voila! 15 Minutes you're sweating, your heart rates up and those muscles that were all weak from sitting down are fixed. Enjoy!
