Squats are one of the top exercises for shaping your legs and working your glutes and this squat workout is filled with them. This one will leave you with muscle burn for a few days after. The squat drop and chop workout combines lots of squats with burpees; each burpee has 10 squats attached to it. Yes, 10! ..and each round of burpees is followed by a different chop based ab exercise. So in addition to hitting your legs and butt this workout really targets your abs as well, which get tackled first with burpees and then with chop crunches. Awesome! We’re shaping our summer body early this year and this workout will bring you one step closer to feeling great in that bikini. Guaranteed. || Read more
This burpee workout is a time challenge and is done in a pyramid style with 10 reps done of 4 exercises for the first round and then for each subsequent round you do one less rep of each until you get to the 10th round in which you do just one rep of each exercise. This workout is great for strengthening and toning the full body, as burpees are the best full body exercise I know of, but this is especially good for the abs and core with the last 2 exercises directly targeting those. Adding some weight with the sandbag intensifies the action and effect. Tighten your abs as you do the sit ups and leg raises to get the most out of these.
This fun and fast moving ball workout features the Ugi and also has a Swiss ball being used for a couple exercises. This workout is a little longer than usual, but workouts using the Ugi always somehow seem more fun. This workout moves alog quickly. It is fast, dynamic and filled with cardio. It has 4 rounds and in each you alternate rounds of intervals (HIIT – High Intensity Interval Training) with skipping. This will take approximately 20 minutes or longer if you take breaks between rounds. Try to get through it as quickly as you can. || Read more
I had to celebrate as this is my 100th workout video on Youtube! And so what better way to celebrate than to do lots of burpees – 100 burpees of course! This workout rocks! I picked out 10 of my favorite kinds of burpees. ok, hold up, I lied, because supergirl burpees are NOT my favorite, but I do want to get better at them, so yes they are included, but aside from these.. and if I was good at them, they would be pretty awesome! ..and so one day they will be a favorite and this will be true. Truth from the future. But I digress. This workout has 10 rounds of super awesome burpees and knee hug crunches. Burpee love. || Read more
This skipping based workout has 10 rounds and even though it is skipping based, if you can not skip for any reason, you can alternate the skipping for another cardio based exercise, such as high knees or mountain climbers. I will admit that I overindulged over the holiday season and I was feeling it. ..and to boot, the evening before doing this workout I ate a huge bowl of salty popcorn, which I love.. and among other stuff. yikes! I was feeling it but I also knew that a longer cardio based workout was going to make me feel so much better afterwards. It did. It can be tempting to avoid doing workouts if you have over indulged, but trust me, you will feel so much better afterwards. Your metabolism will be boosted and it leaves you wanting to eat healthier. || Read more
This workout is a long one but a good one! It has lots of cardio built into it and will work on mostly lower body (legs, butt) and abs. For this one I did 3 rounds of the 2 parts. The first part is a time challenge that took me just over 3 minutes for each round and the second part is interval training rotating 3 awesome sandbag exercises and it is almost 7 minutes. So doing one round of the 2 parts will take about 10 minutes. My initial intention was to do 4 rounds of this, but as I was expecting company and was already at my time limit (was giving myself 30 minutes) I changed it to 3 rounds. So, that being said.. if you are up for the 4 rounds go for it! ..and conversely if you feel like doing 2 or even one round of this – great. Do whatever it takes to get yourself up and moving! ..but however you do it, push yourself while you are in the ring and do your best. You will feel great about yourself after! || Read more
