Easter Hangover?

So whether you indulged in a little too much chocolate, ham, or drink this past weekend to celebrate Easter - no biggie.  Remedy the situation with a little sweat and muscle burn.  Like the previous weeks -  Monday brings a combination of HIIT training with some muscle endurance strength training intervals.  You will need a set of dumbells - 5lbs for newer exercisers and 8-10lb for the more experienced exercisers.  Always start heavier - then drop down in weight as you fatigue.

Circuit #1 - Go Thru 3x before moving on to next circuit
100 Jump Rope Skips or High Knees
5 Burpees without Push Up
25 Weighted Squats - Mid Stance
25 Weighted Squats - Wide (Plie) Stance
25 Weighted Squats - Narrow Stance
15 Push Ups
20 V-ups

Circuit #2 - Go Thru 3x before moving on to next circuit
100 Jump Rope Skips or High Knees
5 Double Burpees (2 push ups, 2 plank jumps, 2 jumps at the end)
20 Lunges - right leg - with Bicep Curl
20 Lunges - left leg - with Overhead Press (palms face forward)
50 Bicycle crunches (on back or upright on sitz bones).

Circuit #3 - Go Thru 3x before moving on to next circuit
100 Jump Rope Skips or High Knees
5 Tricep Push Up Burpees
20 Plank Rows with Tricep Kickback (in push up position with db in each hand or beside each hand - row one db toward lower rib cage - hold elbow at side while you extend your hand back towards your hip) - alternate sides
20 Lying Pullover with Leg Extension (Lie on your back, double up your dumbells and hold them together with straight arms over your chest and bring your legs up to tabletop position - extend your legs out at a 45degree angle as you drop the weights behind your head - trying to keep your arms as straight as possible - return back to starting position)

 And as always - TRAIN WITH INTENTION!
