No-time, Fat Burning Workout

As I mentioned earlier, try to stick to an exercise schedule throughout the holiday season. Here is a short, challenging workout that can be done anywhere with no equipment.

Jog in place for 2 minutes, easier intensity to get some blood flowing.

Jog with high knees up, pumping your arms, for 2 minutes between each of the below exercises.

Perform a 'prisoner squat' for 15 reps, going as deep as possible. A prisoner squat is executed with your hands on your head and feet shoulder width apart. Squat deeply.

Perform a 'waiter's bow' (or a good morning) for 15 reps. Place your hands behind your back and bow forward from your hips, not your waist.

Perform a step lunge going all the way down to the floor and placing your hands on either side of your foot. Push yourself back up and repeat on the other side. Perform 30 reps, or 15 per side.

Perform a single leg dead lift. Hinging at your hips reach down toward the floor as you lift one leg behind you to hip level. Perform 30 reps, alternation legs.

Perform a back step lunge, alternating legs, for a total of 30 reps.

Perform 15 push-ups

Perform 50 bicycles.

Stretch.

The above workout should take about 20 minutes.

Remember, stick to a routine!!!
