This workout is filled with jumps and will have you jumping all over the place and in every direction. It’s very dynamic and active. The workout has 3 parts, each is made up of tabata intervals and in each tabata you alternate doing 2 exercises. I think it’s a really fun one filled with some great exercises and the time goes by really fast. Hope you like this one too! || Read more
This ab workout is made up of 6 exercises and flows from one into the other, lying sideways on mat you start with a crunch (facing upwards) and then roll over and do an exercise facing down, then roll back and do one facing up, roll over and do one facing down and again one up and one down and that is one round. You do 20 reps of each exercise until the last one which has 10. I found it best to memorize the order and when I wrote it on a piece of paper found that was enough to help remember them so I could just go through the sequence easily. || Read more
This 12 minute workout has 3 tabata parts in it (Follow that link to read more on tabatas!). Each of the parts has 2 exercises in it: a crunch type ab exercise and a plank type exercise, also great for the abs. The time goes by quick and because you are alternating the exercises you just have 4 periods for each of them, so put as much into each one as you can so that you really feel it afterwards and so you get the most out of the workout. || Read more
This workout might be more appropriately named Shoulder Cap Burnout! The goal is to have you feeling it and feel the burn, not hurting in a bad way of course, just a little burn to build the muscle. The focus of this workout is really the lateral arm raises. I love this exercise as it helps build great shoulder caps which look really great on the body! The arm raises work the medial head of the deltoid muscles, that is the shoulders. There are 3 muscles here: anterior (front), posterior (back) and medial in the middle – that’s our focus! || Read more

This 15 minute upper body workout is aimed to turn you into a jumgle hopping tree swinging monkey in no time. It has 3 of my favorite types of push ups: breakdance push ups, reptile push ups and roll back and up to push up. Push ups are a great classic bodyweight exercise, and is a classic because it works well to build a great shape and especially works the arms, chest and shoulders. Think it can’t get any more fun? Think again. This has lots of fun plank jumps and pull ups to change it up and keep the workout upbeat and lively. Ok, I’ll admit it. It’s tough. But it feels good after, and it’s done in 15 minutes. Quick, fun, effective. Ready? || Read more
Hey Mr Sandbag Workout, do a burpee for me.. or two or three. Fun! ..well, the workout seems fun but it’s a little brutal getting through the first part. Actually I think this is a good challenge and very doable. The first part is the type of challenge where you get halfway though and you say.. Oh, this is crazy, forget it..but then you go – wait. I’m half way finished, I’ll just do a few more reps.. and all of a sudden you’re finished and feeling awesome. ..and then it doesn’t seem so bad. ; ) That type of workout. ..and then the second interval part is a bit of a relief. Some great sandbag exercises and not a walk in the park, but it feels good to go back to intervals after the jumping and burpees. I really liked this workout and hope that you do too! || Read more
