30 seconds of Crazy

The timed workout. I do this on days that I know I won't give my best on reps because I am extra tired or just not in the mood. Its a lot like Insanity if you have ever done that. The first round you will want to start a little slower and then by the 3rd round you should be going as fast as you possibly can without compromising form. This type of workout is also good for people who are just starting or women who are pregnant and just can't do that many reps. This is a "at your own pace" workout.

You are going to do 3 rounds of 30 seconds for each set. We usually only take breaks that are 30 seconds after each set of exercises but listen to your body (unless its tell you to sit on the couch :)).

Set #1
Jog in place (by the 3rd time your should be sprinting in place)
Push-ups
Jump Squats (basically just squat, keeping your knees behind your toes, and then jump up)

Set #2
High knees
Tricep dips (on a chair or just on the ground with hands pointing toward the butt just bend your            elbows)
Lunges

Set #3
Jump rope (use an actual jump rope or just pretend)
Plank walks (in plank, just move your right hand and right leg one step to the right and the lefts  follow, then go back to the center, and then to the left) *if that doesn't make sense just stay in plank :)
Belt kicks (squat and come up and kick your right leg, then squat, come up, and kick your left leg, etc)

Set #4 (Just abs- You can use an exercise ball)
Sit-ups
Flutter kicks
Bicycle kicks
Plank

This will take you about 20 minutes total! Work hard. If you aren't sweating even a little bit after this one then you didn't work hard enough. This workout should burn about 250-300 calories if you work hard! Thats pretty awesome for 20 minutes! To make it more fun either do it with someone or give yourself a reward for after you get it done! **hint rewards do not have to be junk food :)
