Quick Workouts for GREAT Results
A triple play that gets fast results
Do it: Pedal a bike at a moderate pace—an effort level of 5 or 6 (you're working hard but can still carry on a conversation)—for 10 minutes. Next, run either outside or on a treadmill for 10 minutes, again at an effort level of 5 or 6. Last, head to the pool or a rowing machine and put in 10 minutes at the same effort level.
The Full-Body Toner
Combines strength moves and cardio for maximum fat-blasting
Do it: Jump rope for 30 seconds and rest for 30 seconds; do 5 sets. Then perform 2 sets of this 5-minute body-weight circuit: squats, pushups, step-ups, dips, and crunches. Do as many reps of each exercise as you can in 1 minute, moving to the next without rest. Finish with a 10-minute jog at a medium pace.
The Power Booster
This interval workout builds speed, power, and lower-body tone.
Do it: Pick three cardio machines with adjustable resistance and do the following on each: Warm up for 2 minutes at a medium pace. For the first interval, raise to max effort by upping the resistance and/or incline, keeping the pace steady; go for 30 seconds, then recover at warmup pace for 2 minutes. Do 2 intervals per machine. Finish on one machine before moving to the next.
The Calorie Scorcher
Challenges your cardiovascular system and strengthens your body
Do it: Choose any three cardio machines. On the first one, go for 10 minutes at an effort level of 5 or 6. Move immediately to the next machine and go hard, at an effort level of 9 or 10—you should just barely be able to huff out words—for another 10 minutes. Finally, switch to the last machine and do 10 minutes at a 5 or 6 effort.

BODY ROCK and POP PILATES CARDIO! THESE ARE AMAZING! *HIGHLY SUGGEST*
1. Jump Squat & Touch Down – 20 reps
2. Skater – 15 reps each leg
3. Reptile – 20 reps
4. One Leg Hop Kick – 20 reps
For this next one you need two towels, but if you don't have them or don't have a wooden floor to do them on you can do regular mountain climbers.
GOOD LUCK! I DID BOTH, AMONG OTHER WORKOUTS, AT THE SAME TIME SO I SUGGEST YOU DO THEM TOGETHER IF YOU WANT A LONGER TOUGHER WORKOUT. BUT ONE OF THEM IS JUST AS GREAT!
