This squats workout is the last workout for the week long squat challenge of 1000 squats, and this fun workout has the last 200 reps. For this one you alternate doing 20 reps of squats with different bodyweight exercises. Mostly bodyweight that is, there are 2 Swiss ball exercises to change it up and make it a little more fun. I will give alternatives for if you don’t have a Swiss ball. I thought this was a really great workout to break up the squats and make them go by fast. The whole workout seemed to go by fast and it is another great way to get lots more squats into your life and shape those legs and butt! || Read more
For this squat workout there are 3 parts. The first and third are a squat based time challenge in which you go through a sequence of 3 different squat exercises and do 5 rounds as quickly as you can. You will feel the leg burn at the end of each and especially after the squat pulses. Between the two time challenges there is a 12 minute set of intervals, which provides a break from the squats and changes it up with other fun bodyweight exercises. These are arranged so that you change positions between each exercise: from a crab exercise facing up to a walk out facing down, table makers up, burpees down. I was thinking of balance and yoga and how you do a pose on each opposite side. This part is quick and active to boost the metabolism, as well as build core and functional strength. || Read more
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 bodyweight workout routine is a vicious circle of 6 classic core strengthening exercises. There are 5 rounds in this workout and each one is the same. For each round, you flow through a sequence doing 10 reps of each exercise. Then mark your time, take a small break if necessary. I took about 30 seconds between each round before moving onto the next one. Marking your time down gives you a little incentive to try to improve it for the next round, but form is more important than speed always. || Read more
This 12 minute HIIT workout is made up of 8 fun fast and dynamic exercises. The object is to go through each one doing as many reps as you can in the work period, just taking 10 seconds between each one to write down your reps. Go through each of the exercises 2 times. Go as fast as you can and do as many reps as you can but always keep in mind that form is more important than speed. The cardio will get your heart rate up and make this workout a great fat blaster. Keeping track of your reps not only gives you incentive to push hard and do as many as you can, but also if you do this workout again you can measure your progress against these numbers. It’s always amazing to see how quickly your strength increases and progress improves when you consistently do these bodyweight exercises. || 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
