It's About Results

Excuses will never give you the results you want, HARD WORK does.  So keep working just as hard, if not harder to reach your goal, whatever it may be.  As a trainer, it becomes easy to identify those people who want everything without doing anything - I've heard it all, believe me.  But if you've been with me for the past few weeks - you know that hard work yields real results and this workout will test that idea.  I have included just a few reps of every exercise we have done since I started this blog - and I guarantee you that on at least one, if not more, you have changed something in a positive direction from when you started.  For example, you started with pushups on your knees and now have graduated to your toes; you can do jump lunges instead of fast reverse lunges; burpees are no longer your worst enemy.  You can gauge results with fitness and strength improvements, not always with numbers on a scale.

Warm-up for a few minutes.

Do 25 reps of each of the exercises:
Keep this list close so you can keep your rest time to a minimum.
Jump Squats
Plank Jacks
Pushups
V-Ups
Forearm Plank - 1 minute
Jump Lunges
1/2 Burpee Jumps - in pushup position, jump both feet in towards chest and then back out again
Plank Med Ball Jumps - in pushup position, both feet on one side of a med ball, jump them both at the same time over back and forth
Tricep Pushups
Lying Toe Touches - hand to opposite toe
Side Plank Drops - Left and Right
Burpees w/o Pushup
Ball Taps - stand in front of a ball, alternate tapping each foot on top as fast as you can
Firefly Pushups
Plank Knee Tucks - in pushup position, bring knee underneath you towards your chest - alternate legs
Lying Leg Drops/Raises - place hands under bum to keep lower back down
Skater/Side Jump Lunges
Box Jumps or Step Ups

TRAIN WITH INTENTION - It's the only way!
