How’s January treating everyone? Are you still on the New Year’s Resolutions bandwagon?? Have you seen any changes in your health/fitness levels? Today I’m here to help keep you on that bandwagon with another #NOEXCUSES™ Fitness Full Body Workout. Fair warning…this workout is super challenging! BUT I know you can do it!! On to the workout…
Warm-up: 5-10 minutes.
Complete 1 round of 10 reps of each of the following exercises:
Squats: Start by standing up straight. Feet hip width apart. Core tight. Lower down into a squat position, focusing on pushing backward with your hips (like you are reaching for a chair with your rear) and making sure your knees do not push over your toes. Slowly stand back up.
Pushups: Either regular or modified on your knees.
High Knees
Jumping Jacks
Now for the meat of the workout, set a timer for 15 minutes. Complete as many rounds of the following exercises as you can:
10 Lunges: Walking Lunges (5 reps on each side). Core tight!
5 Burpees: Start by standing up straight, arms by your sides, feet hip width apart. Squat down and place your palms face down on the floor in front of you. Kick your legs behind you so you are in a push-up position. Pull your legs back under you into the squat position, keeping your palms face down on the floor. Stand and then jump in the air, bringing your arms over your head to reach for the ceiling. When you land, that is one full burpee. Remember to keep your core tight throughout the entire movement.
10 Squats
5 Burpees
10 Crunches
5 Burpees
Once the 15 minutes is up, time to cool down!
Cool Down: 5-10 minutes.
As always, if this is your first time starting a new exercise program, please consult with your physician prior to starting!! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! And if you want to check out any other workouts, you can find them here and here. The beauty of the #NOEXCUSES™ Workouts are that you do not need a Gym Membership and very little equipment (if any) is needed. So you can workout…without excuses!!
In Good Health!
I have never done an actual workout before. I think this would a good time to start one. Best it be part of my new year’s resolution. 🙂
