Fat Blasting 30 minute workout!

Why wait until the first of the year to get started on your fitness goals?? Here is a 30 minute workout that anyone can do at home with absolutely no equipment.  All you need is a chair or stair or even the curb outside!  This is a circuit training workout meaning you do all the exercises without rest until you've completed all the exercises in the workout.  With no rest in between exercises you will burn more fat!! 
First set up your workout area so that you don't waste anytime and you can go from one exercise to the other. 

1. Push ups 1:00 minute

A.  Start in this position or you can go to your knees.  Keep body level.

B. Slowly lower yourself down.  Keep body aligned.  Repeat for a full 1:00

2. Squats 1:00 minute-  Sorry no picture, but put your feet hip distance apart keep head up and back with the natural arch and slowly lower yourself down as if sitting in a chair.  Use the glutes and hamstrings to bring you back up to the starting position.  Be sure to squeeze!

3. Mountain Climbers 1:00 minute-  Start in the plank position and bring knee up towards your chest alternate knees and continue this until you have reached a 1:00.

4. Chair Dips- 1:00 minute

A. Put both hands on chair with fingers facing outward. 

B.  Slowly lower the body only using your arms then return to the starting position.

5. Chair Step Ups 30 seconds each leg total of 1:00 minute.

Put one leg onto a chair or step and use that leg that's on the chair to push the other leg up to meet it.  Keep repeating this until 30 seconds has passed and then switch legs.

6. Plank 1:00 minute-on elbows.  The goal is to keep the entire body in a straight alignment.  Keep the entire body contracted.

7. Burpees 30-45 seconds if you can do a full minute...do it!

A. Start in a plank position with arms extended.

B. Jump feet up to the hands.

C. Bring yourself up to a standing position then jump back down into a plank and repeat this for 30-45 seconds.

8. Reach and squeeze 1:00 minute- 

A. Lay on the ground with arms and legs raised.  Have your hands touching.

B. Lift the upper body only and hold for a few seconds.  Be sure to squeeze those abdominal's!

Be sure to properly warm up and stretch to prevent injuries!!
Do this cycle for three sets and three times a week.  Take a minute break in between these sets.  Really push yourself and try not to take a break until you're done with the circuit.  You CAN do it!! Of course you can always ramp up this workout by adding weights to it!  Again circuit training burns more fat in less time!!!
So what are you waiting for?  Start getting healthy now!
