I don’t always like working at home, but when in a pinch, a quick burst of cardio mixed with strength always does the trick. Here’s a fast full body workout you can do when pressed for time to burn some calories, increase your heart rate, and continue to strengthen those muscles.
Complete all exercises in sets of 50 repetitions. Try to move quickly from one exercise to the next to keep that heart rate up! This workout should take you about 30 minutes or so to complete.
Equipment needed: light to medium weight dumbbells, resistance band, and ab roller (optional).
Bicep curls with dumbbells
Standing glute / leg kickback with resistance band (50/leg)
Shoulder circles (50 repetitions forward and 50 repetitions backward) (no weight — the shoulders burn out quickly on this one!)
Sumo/wide squat (while holding weight as an option)
Tricep kickback with dumbbells
Outer thigh leg lift with resistance band (50 repetitions/leg)
Ab roll-outs with ab roller (or simple crunches or reverse crunches if you don’t have an ab roller at home!)
Dead lift with dumbbells
Front and lateral shoulder raise (alternating) (25 repetitions/arm)
