Ever have one of those days that you know you only have 30 minutes to get to the gym, but feel like it won't be worth it b/c it's "not enough time?"
Try this!
If you have a deck of cards, that can make this even more interesting, but if not, just do 15 reps of everything 2-3 times.
15 jump squats (go down like you're doing a squat with no weights and immediately jump up)
15 jumping jacks
15 jump lunges (instead of doing a lunge and going right back to standing up straight, "jump" and lunge with the other leg)
15 high knees (run in place and raise knees as high as you can)
15 push ups
15 'butt kicks' (run in place and try to kick butt with heels)
15 mountain climbers (get on floor like you're going to do a push up and alternate bringing knees in to your chest--like you're climbing a wall)
15 bicycle crunches
15 jumping jacks
If you have a deck of cards, lay three out at a time and add them up (Jacks 11, Queens 12, Kings 13). That is how many reps you do for that exercise. Then lay out three more cards for the next exercise. Do this set 3 times with about 2-3 minutes rest in between and your heart rate will be going strong!!!
If you have questions about any of this, you can find you tube videos of these exercises, post a comment, or hit me up on facebook!
this sounds like a jillian michaels dvd i have. haha she has these 20 minute-40 minute solution videos that i end up using in the winter b/c it's too snowy to run and im too cheap for a gym membership. so i got these b/c they are like mad cardio which i miss if i dont run AND they seem to do things to my muscles that make them ache and then get bigger. haha
