5 Round Challenge

Happy Friday! It is finally the weekend, time to relax! But what about that workout?

You can still enjoy your relaxing weekend, with a quick and efficient workout! It can be done in less than 30 minutes, and leaving you feeling guilt-free for the weekend! It can even be done in the comfort of your own living room!

This week I am going to share with you a body weight workout that can be done outside of the gym but it is guaranteed to make you drip sweat!

There will be a total of 5 exercises, you can either time each exercise doing 40 seconds of each exercise, and resting 10 seconds in between, or do 20 reps.  The challenge is that you will be doing 5 rounds of these exercises...yep 5 ROUNDS!

There are some new exercises in the 5 round challenge. Here are a description of each:

Plank Jack: in the plank position, on your elbows or in the push up position, keep your hips low and jump your legs in and out like a jumping jack

V-up: Laying on your back, start with your hands above your head. Lift your legs and arms, getting your upper body off the ground to have your arms meet your legs.

Burpees: Begin in a standing position, Kick your feet back so that you are in push-up position
Kick your feet back to their original position. Stand up, and then jump into the air while clapping your arms overhead

Let’s get started!!!
