Hey everyone! You ready for a killer workout that you don't even need to be in the gym for? It's May, it's sunny, and it's getting warmer...so why waste the good weather? Let's go outside and do a circuit using only your body weight!
Here is the workout: Do each exercise for 1 minute, 3 rounds total. 15 seconds rest in between exercises.
1. Squat jacks- like regular jumping jacks but instead of just jumping out, do a squat then jump back up and hands together above your head.
2. Hand release push ups- regular pushups on the ground, but when you go down to touch your chest on the ground, pick up your hands, allowing your chest to rest on the ground for just a second, then push yourself back up.
3. Outside mountain climbers- in a straight arm plank position, flat palms on the ground and feet behind you, reach your right leg to the outside of your body aiming for your right elbow. Do the same thing on the left side
4. Ski jumps- alternating jumping side to side from your left to your right foot. Bend your knees, stay low, keep your core tight, and shoot for distance! You are constantly only on ONE foot. Both feet never touch the ground. Really use those legs to push off
5. Burpees- oh the dreaded word "burpees!" Start standing straight up, squat down and put your palms on the ground. Kick your legs out behind you so you are in a straight arm plank position. Do a pushup. Then hop your feet back in to a squat position by your hands and jump straight up! Repeat.
This is a 15 minute, full body workout that will help with muscular endurance, cardio, strength, fat loss, and functional movement. Good luck, work hard, and HAVE FUN!!
