Full body Kick-Your-Tail Workout


It's been awhile since I've posted (I'm a TERRIBLE blogger) but recently I've had an influx of visits to my blog and Facebook page so posting my latest workout seemed like the best idea. I developed this workout to not only be a MAJOR calorie blaster, but it hits every body part in addition to burning out your core. I love the reactions I've been getting from it:)

There are 3 main components to this workout and within those boundaries, you can mix and match excercises how you'd like: 2 minutes of plyometric cardio followed immediately by 20 repetitions of a strength training excercise followed by a 30-45 second plank. Make sure to do a fairly heavy weight on the weighted excercises since you're only doing one set of each and GOOGLE any excercise that you aren't familiar with. Here's the sample workout;

1. Jumping Jacks, 2mins
2. push-press, 20 reps
3. plank, 30-45 secs.
(rest)
4. burpees, 2mins
5. superlow unweighted squats, 20 reps
6. plank, 30-45 secs,
(rest)
7. squat jumps, 2 mins
8. kettlebell swings, 20 reps
9. plank, 30-45 secs
(rest)
10. knee drives, 2 mins
11. lateral and rear hip extensions (band or ankle weights), 20 each way, on each leg
12. plank, 30-45 secs
(rest)
13. pop squats, 2 mins
14. diagonal arm push-ups, 20
15. plank, 30-45 secs
(rest)
16. lateral jumps (feet together jumping sideways over cones or dbs), 2 mins
17. excercise ball knee-ins, 20
18. plank, 30-45 secs

The good news...you can always add on another set if you'd like:) Pin It
