30 Minute Full-Body Workout I wanted to share a shorter workout with you for those days when you don't have a full hour to work out. You can do this workout in the comfort of your own home - so you have NO excuses! This should take you about 30 minutes including a warm up and a cool down/stretch. It’s a full body workout using all compound exercises. Expect to push a little harder since it's shorter in duration.
In the Ladder workout below, start off by completing 10 reps of each exercise, one after the next and then rest for about 30 seconds before you start back at the beginning, but this time complete 9 reps of each. Then 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and your last set will be 1 rep of each. The idea is to try and get "down the ladder" before the 15 minutes is up! 3-5 minute Warm Up Jog, Jacks, lunges, arm swings, squats, etc... Ladder 10-1 Reps (15 minutes) - Burpees - Plank Rows / side - Squat to Press - Push-ups - Mason Twists / side (Rest 2 minutes) Finisher 20/10 x 4 Rounds - Jump Lunges - Mountain Climbers 3-5 minute Cool Down and Stretch Quad stretch, child's pose, hip flexor stretch, hamstrings, shoulders, triceps stretch I love Ladder workouts like the one above! The next time you try this workout, aim to complete the ladder quicker than you did your first try. Also, make sure you choose a set of dumbbells that will allow you to complete 12 reps on your squat to press. Once you finish the Ladder section, take a couple minutes to recover before you do the finisher. You will set a timer for 8 rounds of 20 seconds work with 10 seconds rest. Alternate between jump lunges and mountain climbers 4 times. And there you have it - a full body workout you can complete at home in 30 minutes with just a set of dumbbells. Give it a try the next time you can't make it to the gym, and let me know what you think in the comments below.
