Here’s a quick workout that packs a punch if you want to jump start your fitness routine. Try a Tabata set to fire up your metabolism with interval training. A Tabata workout is eight consecutive sets of an exercise; 20 seconds of work (giving your maximum effort) followed by ten seconds of rest. Do that eight times and you’ve completed one round. For a full body workout, choose six to eight exercises that focus on all major muscle groups and include some cardio bursts.<\/p>\n
Tabata Set
\nRemember, eight sets of each exercise before moving onto the next one; 20 seconds of work, ten seconds rest.<\/p>\n
Bicep curls: Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with your feet hip-width distance apart. Let your arms hand down at your sides with your palms forward. Keep your elbows in at your sides and slow curl both arms upward until they’re in front of your shoulder. Slowly lower and repeat. <\/p>\n
Plank jacks: Begin in plank position with your shoulders over your wrists. Your body should be in a straight line from your head to your ankles with your feet together. Jump your legs wide and then back together, just like a jumping jack, but instead you’re holding plank. <\/p>\n
Alternating split lunges: Step into a lunge position with one foot forward with the knee bent, and the rear knee nearly touching the ground. Make sure your front knee is not over your toes. From that lunge position, jump as high as possible, shifting the position of your feet so the alternating foot is forward. Swing your arms to gain additional lift. Alternate legs for the duration of the exercise. If you’re unable to jump, you can modify this exercise by stepping back, returning to your original position and alternating legs each time.<\/p>\n
Mountain climbers: Begin in plank position with your shoulders over your wrists. Your body should be in a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles. Lift your right foot off of the floor and raise your knee as close to your chest as you can. Return to plank position and repeat the exercise with your left leg. Continue alternating legs. Increase speed to get the most out of the exercise.<\/p>\n
Jump squats: Start in a regular squat position with feet hip-width distance apart. Squat down, making sure your knees are behind your toes, engage your core, and then jump up explosively. Land softly on your feet in the squat position so you remain in control of your body. <\/p>\n
Russian twists: Grab a dumbbell and sit on the floor with your hips and knees bent 90 degrees. Hold the weight straight out in front of you and keep your back straight. You should be leaning back at a 45-degree angle. Twist your torso as far as you can to the left and then reverse the motion twisting to the right. Continue twisting back and forth, engaging your abdominal muscles throughout each set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
