You have to start sometime . . .

Alright everyone - make EVERY workout count.  You don't have to workout out for hours and hours on end - I always tell my clients - workout smarter and harder.  It's NOT THE LENGTH OF TIME YOU WORKOUT - IT'S WHAT YOU DO AND THE INTENSITY AT WHICH YOU DO IT that gets results.  So I'm going to assume that most of you reading this post have been either training with me or coming to my classes so you know what I expect from you, if not - do your best - push yourself - it's your body - it will only change if you want it badly enough.  Okay - enough talking  - here is what I want you to do today.

20 minutes of CARDIO INTERVALS - 30 seconds of hard hard work followed by 30 seconds of moderate recovery.  This can be done anywhere.  AT THE GYM - sprint on a treadmill for 30 seconds - jump to the sides and relax for 30 seconds - repeat - see if you can up the speed each time.  You can do this on the elliptical or bike as well.  OUTSIDE - if you run - you can pick up the pace for 30 seconds and then jog for 30 seconds.  If you're not up to running the whole time - jog for 30 seconds and then walk for 30.

BODY WEIGHT CIRCUIT - 2-3x thru: NO REST - GO FROM ONE EXERCISE TO THE NEXT
50 Squats
40 Mountain Climbers (In push up position - bring one knee at time in towards chest as fast as you can)
30 Lunges (15 each side)
20 Crunches
10 Tricep PushUps (on knees or toes) - arms are narrow - keep elbows by your sides as you lower
10 Burpees (w/o Push Up) - start standing, squat down place hands on floor - jump or step your feet back to   push up position - jump or step them back in - stand up and jump - repeat
20 Standard PushUps (knees or toes)
30 Step Ups (15 each leg) - step on a bench or table that is at least 16" high
40 Bicycle Crunches
50 Plank Jacks - in push up position - jump both feet out and then back together (can walk one out at time if you need to)

Have a great workout.  This is only the beginning.  Train like you mean it.
