Next...

Set up for 30 seconds of bench dips.

Begin with your hands grasping the edge of a chair or bench with your feet extended out in front of you. Slide your butt off the edge of the chair so you are balancing your body weight with your arms. Lower your torso, bending your elbows to 90 degrees, keeping your shoulders down and back and your chest up. Press back up and repeat for 30 seconds.

Follow the bench dips with another minute of your cardio activity.

After the minute cardio, have some water and come to stand with your feet hip distance apart and parallel, your shoulders down and back, your spine in neutral and your core engaged. Hold a dumbbell in each hand.

Walking lunges for 30 seconds. Take a step with your right leg, plant your foot heel to toe and bend your knee into a lunge with your thigh parallel to the floor. Engage your hamstrings and glutes to stand and switch legs. Repeat.

Then another minute of cardio...see a pattern?
