Hi guys!! Do you know what the most common answer to the question “do you workout” is? “No, I just don’t have time.” TIME-by far the number 1 answer. We are busy people and I know time to work on our bodies is not always conveniently available!! But guess what if you can make a commitment to 20 minutes a day then you can do this workout at home! You should give yourself just 20 min a day and the benefits will be worth it!
What I want to say very politely and with the best of intentions is that YOU HAVE 20 MINUTES. You have time to do a quick HIIT workout!
HIIT consists of short, intense bursts of exercise with either active recovery (like less intense exercise) or complete rest in between.
So I am urging you to buy a few fitness supplies like dumbbells, kettlebells and a mat and hit the deck!
Go outside, let the sun’s rays shine on you and take just 20 minutes to do this quick but effective workout a few times per week!
Start: on your mat in a child’s pose stretch and then pop up to a down dog-holding each for about 20 seconds. Then slowly walk your feet in and raise your body one vertebrae at a time so that your heads comes up last and take 3 deep breaths before you begin your routine.
Kettlebell swings: 15 with a lighter weight KB and then 15 with a heavier weight KB-no break
Rest for 20 sec
DB bicep curls: 15 with your lightweight DB and then 15 with your heavier weight DB-no break
Rest for 20 sec
DB rows: 15 with your lightweight DB and then 15 with your heavier weight DB-no break
Rest for 20 sec
DB triceps kickbacks: 15 with your lightweight DB and then 15 with your heavier weight DB-no break
Rest for 20 sec
Kettlebell swings: 15 with a lighter weight KB and then 15 with a heavier weight KB-no break
Rest for 20 sec
DB Deadlift: 15 with your lightweight DB and then 15 with your heavier weight DB-no break
Rest for 20 sec
On your mat: 20 single leg lifts on each leg, 20 full plank shoulder taps, 20 Mountain climbers
Rest for 20 sec
KB squat with row: 20 with a lightweight KB and then 20 with your heavier weight KB-no break
End: on your mat in a child’s pose stretch and then pop up to a down dog-holding each for about 20 seconds. Then slowly walk your feet in and raise your body one vertebrae at a time so that your heads comes up last and take 3 deep breaths before you end your routine.
That’s it!
