Hi Everyone!
Are you ready for a great workout? One round of this routine takes 20 minutes.
This workout can be performed with body weight, or you can increase the intensity by adding weights.
I used a barbell (total weight 75 lbs), and two dumbbells (20 lbs each). Remember, the number one focus is always form. Choose a weight that you can use while consistently maintaining form, that is still challenging for you. When you are lifting or setting down your weights be sure to keep the core tight and the back straight. Always protect your back!
If you don’t want to use a weight you can substitute cardio bursts of your choice during the 30 second intervals. Some great options are: jump rope, jumping jacks, high knees, mountain climbers or froggers.
Let me know if you are trying this workout (and what you think!) in the comments below, or on Facebook: @MelissaBenderFitness, Instagram or Twitter: @BenderFitness. You can find Jesse on Instagram: @BenderCrosby1
I can’t wait to be back working out with you! My new program starts Sunday August 21st. 🙂 See you soon!
