So this week I have a killer workout for you. A fast but effective 25 min total body blast!

Are you up for the challenge?

Come on now, you know you wanna.

Feel the burn baby.

Feel.

The.

Buuuuurrrrrnnnnn

Grab yourself a set of dumbbells or even some resistance bands, something appropriate for your strength but don’t be afraid to challenge yourself ok.

This week we are going to do 8-10 reps of each exercise and repeat the entire sequence through for a total of 3 sets with a much needed 1 minute rest between each set.

Take your time, concentrate, focus and breathe through each and every exercise. Make. It. Count!

8-10 reps, 3 sets followed by 1 minute (well earned) rest. Got it?

Give each exercise everything you have then move to the next exercise as quickly as you can with little to no rest in-between (of course listen to your body if you feel like you need a second to grab a drink and catch you breath by all means do so but only if you really need it ok?) then we savour our 1 minute rest and kick it through for our total of 3 sets, got it?

Ok good. Let’s do it.

Workout of the Day – 25 min Total Body Blast

First we need to warm up for 5 minutes or so. Run on the spot, do jumping jacks, jump rope, dance around your living room, anything to get you warm then it’s time to get serious.

PS – As always I have included some links to a detailed breakdown/how to for each exercise at the bottom so if some of these exercises are new or unfamiliar I got you covered.
