Hello World,
If statistics serve me correctly, 80% of you who are reading this have access to (or can afford membership to) a local fitness center, but don't make time for it. Another 10% is unable to afford it (be it for financial circumstance or time-management/schedule restrictions), and then there's the faithful few, that top 10% that actually braves the rough economy and pays gym dues, fights the crowds and shows up to the gym, and fights the couch potato urges to get some work done! And then, sadly, even you workout warriors don't hit the iron as often as you should. Not to worry, a quick, in-home remedy is about to be handed to you free of charge. The only equipment needed is... (cue drum roll)... your own body weight!
Try out the following exercises in the order given, not resting until you've completed each of them back-to-back for a set of 15 reps on each exercise. Rest 30-90 seconds and repeat. Moving through this circuit 4 times will bring every major muscle group in your body to fatigue & you'll get a great sweat (this means you burn fat & tone existing muscle mass for definition). This circuit only requires about 15 minutes and some open floor space in your living room or bedroom.
- Push-ups (for women, assisted push-ups with knees on the floor)
- Mountain climbers from push-up position
- Crunches
- Body weight squats
- Squat jumps
- Lunges
