Your Exercise-at-Home Total Body Weight Workout

Total Body Weight Workout!

It's officially Mardi Gras time here in New Orleans! That means a lot of drinking, eating king cake and not getting to the gym as much (parades make it difficult to get to places if you live anywhere near the parade route like I do)! 

So I decided to give you all a full workout that you can do in the comfort of your own home that doesn't require any equipment - just you! 

There are a few things about the workout that I would like to explain:
E.M.O.T.M. stands for every minute on the minute- this means that at the top of the 1st minute, you will complete the 5 burpees, 10 jump lunges and 15 jacks as quickly as you can - and whatever time you have left before minute number two rolls around is your rest period. At the top of the 2nd minute, you will complete the 5 squat jumps, 10 skaters and 15 plank jacks as quickly as possible so you have a little rest before you reach the 3rd minute. Then you just repeat - alternating between the odd and even minute exercises until 10 minutes is up and you have completed 5 rounds of each - 10 minutes total!

I love this type of training because the harder you work, the more rest time you reward yourself with!

Everything else is pretty straightforward, but please let me know if you have any questions.
Here's the workout:
