20 Minute Cardio Workout that is sure to Challenge You!

Good Morning! I woke up today all ready to go out and do some hill sprints so I could try to undo some of the “overindulging” I’v done this past week. It started Wednesday when we went out for our anniversary and continued into Thursday when we went out to celebrate my freshman daughter making the H.S. Tennis Team!!! We were so excited and proud and wanted to take her out.

So, here I am today…..get up, look outside and see hurricane “Danny” is making a visit. I decided to go to my home gym and do something…wasn’t sure what, but I’m usually good at coming up with something to kick my a@&!

So this is what I came up with and felt inspired to share it with you, because I feel so great! It was an interval training workout that took me ONLY 20 minutes and I’m done with my workout for the day.

Check it out…….

Circuit 1:

• Jump rope  (100 turns)
• Push ups  (20)
• Squat jumps  (10)

**Repeat for 10 minutes, move onto circuit 2

Circuit 2:

• Mountain climbers   (60 total; 30 each leg)
• Split lunge jumps   (20)
• T-pushups  (10)

**4 rounds

DONE!! That’s it and I promise you will feel great when you’re done. It’s a perfect rainy day workout and it doesn’t require any equipment, but a jump rope (if you don’t have a jump rope, just do invisible jump roping).

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

In good health!
