Tuesday's Hot and Sweaty Fun

Today's workout is all about pumping up your heart rate, burning some major calories and strengthening your muscles using your own body weight.  We will hit the weights again later on this week.

Start with a quick warm up - jog in place - go for a 5 minute run outside - do something to warm up your muscles.

Go thru the circuit 3x as fast as possible
25 Squats
5 Burpees with a Push Up (Start standing, squat down, hands to floor, jump/step feet back to push up position, do a push up, jump/step feet back in, stand up, jump or knee tuck jump)
50 Bicycle Crunches
5 Burpees with a Push Up
10 Tricep Push Ups - knees or toes
5 Burpees with a Push Up
30 Reverse Lunges to Front Kick (Start with feet hip distance apart, step one leg back to a lunge, step that same leg forward to a front kick - return that same leg behind you to the lunge - 15x each leg)
5 Burpees with a Push Up
10 Elevated Push Ups (Put your feet up on something - the higher they are, the more challenging the Push Up will be)
5 Burpees with a Push Up
50 Side Plank Drops (Get into a forearm side plank - you can stack your feet, have one in front of the other or even drop your bottom knee.  Drop your hip as close to the floor as you can and then return to side plank - 25 times each side) - Remember - pull up through your obliques - don't push through your arm.

Have a great workout!
And remember - TRAIN WITH INTENTION!
