This Week...Full Body Blast

This week I am providing a series of exercises that will come together for a quick and easy cardio/strength series. You can go through the entire routine once or three-four times, depending on your time availability, energy level and enthusiasm.

Start off good and warmed up! A 10 minute walk would suffice!

This was one of last week's posts and is a great way to get your heart rate up, jumping jacks, running in place or moving your furniture and dancing are also great options!

Begin standing with you feet 1-2 inches wider than hip distance apart and parallel. Drop your shoulders and engage your core.

Drop into a deep squat with your chest up and plant your hands on the floor in front of your feet. Hop your legs back so you land in a plank position, pause and hop your feet back to your hands and return to standing. Repeat for 1 minute!

If you just can't wait for the next exercise in the series, feel free to head to the wall for wall sits, as long as you wish!

Don't forget stretching and water! Have a great day!
