Full Body Workout: No Equipment Needed

We all complains of having no time, having no gym membership or getting bored at the gym. To counteract that, my resident personal trainer, Amanda Clout, has put together a 35 minute workout you can do anywhere.  

What you need: towel, water bottle, and timer

Warm Up (5 mins)

Slow jog or power walk, including butt kicks (heels to butt) and fast feet.

For the last 1min move into 2 push-ups, 2 squats and repeat.

Workout

You want to have everything set up so that you can transition quickly and easily to the next exercise. Set your timer to 60s per exercise.

Active recovery 1min full in plank.
