5 minute total body workout

total body workout

Hey Everyone! I’m back! We arrived back home on Thursday night last week and it’s been a bit of whirlwind getting back into a routine. Sky has been a little under the weather which hasn’t helped but hoping that once tomorrow (Thanksgiving) is over things will settle down a little and I get back into a proper routine. Then it’ll be Christmas/hanukkah/yule holidays and soon 2015! Holy Moly  am I the only one that thinks 2014 went by in the blink of an eye??? This weeks workout is a quickie. Just 5 minutes, but that’s one set/round. Repeat for as many rounds as your time allows. This workout is perfect for Thanksgiving and holidays when people are travelling as not much  room is needed. 45s work, 15s rest. Remember if you want to get the videos straight away subscribe to my youtube channel!  The full video is below

Workout Breakdown:

This weeks workout starts with BURPEE. I added a push-up onto mine but you can do them with or without the push-up. For a further modification simply step the feet back rather than jumping back.

Next up is bodyweight SQUATS. I’ve had a little time off with the vacation and my legs were feeling these just bodyweight! Try and get the butt down and keep the chest up.  Aim for hip crease below parallel.

Back down for exercise three which is MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS. For this workout I opted for quick mountain climbers to incorporate core, upper body strength and cardio. You could choose to do them slower for more core strength.

Back up to standing for JUMPING JACKS. You know the drill for these!

The last exercise is an alternating CURTSEY LUNGE. Step the left leg behind and to the side of the right leg and bend the knees, come up to standing and repeat to the other side.
