workout wednesday: 24 minutes to fit!

by Hillary on December 21, 2011

Hey there, friends!

I have to get going with my day stat, but I just have to share this energy-inducing fitness find with y’all.

Even though I woke up early with exercise first thing on the agenda, I was struggling to get moving this morning. However, with the help of iced coffee and inspiration from the web, I was ready to rock.

I blasted Pandora’s Pop + Hip Hop Power Workout station, slipped on my Asics, and within 24-minutes, I was a sweaty mess in the comfort of my own living room – no equipment necessary!

The Anywhere Workout

via Women’s Health Magazine

Perform each move for 1 minute. Repeat 3x for a total of 24 minutes.

 

Tips:
  • I added a 10lb. weight to exercises during Set 3, where applicable (Moves 1, 5, 8).
  • Move 4 is a modified burpee. To make more difficult, add a push-up + jump.
  • Add a twist to Move 7 for an added oblique challenge.

Who says you need a ton of time and fancy equipment for a full-body, fat-burning workout!? Check out my 24-minute speedy interval run (3.3 mi.) for another Workout Wednesday quickie.

Gotta run!

OH MY GOSH, this was awesome! I just did the workout — it’s no joke. I’d been stuck in the same workout routine for a while now, so thanks so much for posting this find!

I love this! I’m always looking for a good workout that I can do without the fancy equipment. I am definitely bookmarking this. :-)

The “bend and thrust” and the “T stabilization” look butt-kicking hard! I wanna try those two…

They’re both great — the “bend + thrust” is a modified burpee and the “T stabilization” is a side plank.

Love the quick workout! I’ll have to give it a try when I’m crunched for time!

Got to love workouts that take less than 30 minutes. I will remember these when I’m traveling over the weekend!

This is great! It’s quick and perfect for when you don’t want to go to the gym. Thanks for this! Also helps to burn calories from lots of holiday baking ;)
