I only had an hour today in between my classes, so I knew my workout had to be quick! Today I focused on abs and arms.
Ab Workout
Weighted Leg Lifts (Regular Leg Lifts for beginners, but I held a 8 lb medicine ball and raised my arms up as I raised my legs)
Oblique V Ups (L)
Oblique V Ups (R)
Weighted Reverse Crunches
Planks (one minute at minimum, hold til failure)
I did each exercise for 20-25 reps, and ran through the set 3 times total.
Arm Workout
1. Bicep Curls
2. High Knees
3. Tricep Overhead Press
4. High Knees
5. Shoulder Push Press
6. High Knees
7. Push-Ups
8. High Knees
I set my interval timer for 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off. I went through this circuit 4 times, taking a short break for water after completing one set. It took me around 20 minutes.
I contemplated not going to the gym today because I was tired and thought I was going to be rushed… I was really just making excuses for myself. Getting in this quick workout boosted my energy and helped me stay awake through my last class! A quick workout is better than no workout! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
