Summer is a busy time. A lot of traveling and activities that can take you away from your regular exercise plan.
If you have been struggling to fit your workouts in, I have a couple of quick ones you can use anywhere. You don't need any bulky equipment and they only take 20 minutes to do.
This and That Cardio and Core
First you will do This and then you will do That. Let the genius of that concept sink in.
You will alternate between the two exercises and see how many rounds you can get done in two minutes. Rest 60 seconds and then start the next set of exercises.
Set 1
20 Steps running in place
10 Second plank hold
Set 2
10 Belly Blasts
10 Mountain climbers
Set 3
20 punches
10 Body Saw Planks
Set 4
10 second Side plank right
10 second side plank left
Set 5
20 Jumping jacks
20 Bicycles
Set 6
10 Jumps (or calf raises)
20 Flutter kicks
Finisher
10 jumping jacks, 10 punches, 10 flutter kicks, 10 bicycles. As many rounds as possible in 2 minutes
Guns and Buns
Set up 4 points in your room. Designate each area an exercise for the following exercises:
Pushups
Jump Squats
Dips
Skier swings
Ideally there would be at least some distance in between the exercises. You will do walking lunges (or do a squat, then take 2 steps), from one exercise to the next. If there is no room to travel do 15 seconds of walking lunges or squatting and stepping in between exercises.
You will do 10 reps of each exercise until you get through all of the exercises. Then you will do 9 of each, then 8 of each.
Set a timer at 20 minutes and see if you can get through the whole list. If you get all the way through, note your time and try to beat it next time.
If you don't get all the way through, make a note where you stopped, and make it a goal to finish. It is 55 reps of each exercise, plus a ton of walking lunges.
Hope those help you find a way to stay active and healthy during these busy summer months.
