Holiday Quickie!

The holidays are here which usually means a busier schedule and heavier foods. With the parties, gift shopping, and travel sneaking in a workout can be difficult. Next time you find yourself in a time crunch try this total body circuit, after your standard warm up:


  1. 1 min jump rope
  2. 12-15 push-ups (modified if needed) 
  3. 12 Anterior Raises (5-10lbs/arm)
  4. 12 Lateral Raises (5-10lbs/arm)
  5. 10 Single Leg Bicep Curls to Overhead Press (10-15lbs/arm)…switch legs
  6. 30 sec elbow plank
  7. 30 sec side elbow plank…switch sides
  8. 30 sec supine elbow plank (chest up)--major glute work
  9. Multi planar lunges- front lunge right, front lunge left, side lunge right, side lunge left, transverse lunge right (45 degree turn behind yourself), transverse lunge left- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vm_ANYOE9g&noredirect=1

Repeat the circuit three times, resting 60 seconds between sets.

No more excuses get your burn on!
