Hi Everyone!

It’s workout time! I have a great combo workout series for you today. The first video is a 15-Minute Standing Workout focused on the Lower Body. The second video is a 5-Minute Arm and Back exercise routine. Pair the videos and you will have a great 20-Minute workout combo.

If you are looking for a longer workout routine you can always repeat the videos to increase the intensity.

Equipment: For the first routine all you need is a chair. For the second routine you need a chair and dumbbells. When selecting an appropriate weight you want to choose something heavy enough that you struggle on the last few reps, but you can maintain appropriate form. If you max out (can not physically do another rep) during an exercise it is not a bad thing. When you max out you improve your strength even faster.

New Workout: I filmed a brand new workout yesterday. I still have to edit and upload the workout, but I will post it here as soon as I can. It should be on the agenda for tomorrow. You can find the sneak peek move video on my Instagram if you want a short preview into one of the exercises.

Have fun with the workout routines. Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your body and your health. Give yourself a pat on the back for doing something that is so fantastic for your body and your future.

Let me know what you thought of the exercises. Did you have a favorite move that you want to see make a comeback in future videos? Leave a comment and let me know!
