Waist Burner

We all struggle with getting rid of those pesky love handles or the "muffin top" so I thought I would throw in this supplemental exercise that can be done on a day where you want to try something new. Make sure you always keep your core pulled in tight so you protect your back. Also, breathe!! And don't strain your neck.
 I would also recommend doing some light stretches before starting this workout (things like "cat/cow" and child's pose)
Please Note: I have linked some of the unfamiliar moves to other posts that explain them :)

Circuit 4:
20 Mountain Climbers
10 Side Leg Lifts - each leg
20 Mason Twists
Rest 30 seconds to 1 minute then go to next circuit

Circuit 5:
30 Second Plank
20 Oblique Crunches
6 Burpees
Rest 30 seconds to 1 minute then do the whole thing again.*
*If you are too tired to do all of it again, decrease the reps to half as much. See how many times you can get through it without compromising form! If once is all you can do than great! That is A LOT!

Total Body Fat Burner

I have to apologize for slacking on my posts the past couple weeks! It has just been super busy at work and school. But I have still been working out, I just haven't been posting them. This morning's workout was a tough one for me! I really enjoyed it though, and I am sure I will be sore tomorrow :). It is a great arm toning exercise to help get rid of the jiggle.

So, here is it! Make sure you warm up, especially if you're working out first thing in the morning.

high pulls with kettle bell

Set 1:

12 Kettlebell or Dumbbell high pulls (if using a dumbbell do each arm individually)

20 seconds jump squats (make sure to keep the core tight and land softly!)

25 Mason twists with a weight of some sort

Rest for 1 minute

Complete 3 rounds total

Set 2:

12 One-Arm rows (kettle bell or dumbbell)

1 minute Jumping Jacks

10-15 Bicep Curls (each arm, shoot for the higher number)

Rest for 1 minute

Complete 3 rounds total

Floor Press

Set 3:

15 One-Arm Floor Press (with weight of your choice)

15 Burpees

30 seconds mountain climbers

Rest for 1 minute

Complete 3 rounds total

STRETCH! I usually spend about 8 minutes stretching but you need to do at least 5 minutes, making sure to get the major muscle groups (hamstrings, quads, low-back, shoulders, glutes)

I really enjoyed this workout! Please don't hesitate to ask me questions about this workout or any of the moves used in it. Thanks!
