Weekend Challenge- Interval Training

Interval Training

 Here is a weekend fitness challenge for you! It’s very simple and all you need is yourself and a stopwatch/timer. Interval training is very effective, it doesn’t take long, you can choose your own level, and it's fun!  

4 intervals/rounds = 24min

 INTERVALS- Here is an effective format for a total body workout. You can choose the same exercises for each round or mix it up!

• 3min Strength (Pick 2 exercises, alternate 45sec 2x)


•  2min Cardio (Pick 2 exercises, alternate 30sec 2x)


• 1min Abs (Pick 2 exercises, alternate 30sec 1x)

 Choose whatever exercises you like! Here are some of my favorites.

Strength	Cardio	Abs
Squats Squat with knee lift Reverse lunges Walking lunges Pushups Plank Tricep dips of chair/bench Tricep pushups Burpees	Jumping jacks High knees Butt kickers Moguls (ski)- hop side to side or front to back Jump rope Step ups on bench or step Jog in place Punches corner to corner Stairs	Basic crunch Plank Plank with twist- knee to elbow Side plank Bicycle crunches Reverse crunches- feet in air and lift hips ( stamp the ceiling with your feet)
