A Lot of Bang For Your Buck Full Body Workout
Cindy and I are moms and fitness trainers. With 8 daughters between us, we are always driving, cooking, cleaning, counseling...the list goes on and on! Wearing so many hats means that we have become proficient multi-taskers. I know this rings true with a lot of parents! As a result, we love creating workouts that hit everything in a very efficient and effective manner. The exercises in this workout are done for 30 seconds each with no breaks between exercises. This is possible because we are hitting 3 different muscle groups with each circuit, thus allowing you to do them back to back to back. It is important that you move quickly from one exercise to the next to get the maximum amount of reps in that 30 second period. So, enjoy, Multitaskers! You are about to get a lot of bang for your buck!

ABC rest (30/30/30/30 seconds)
