You can't beat the efficiency of working out at home. Even with minimal equipment, you can get a challenging and effective workout. One of my favorite ways to workout at home or on the road is by combining strength training with cardio intervals. It's a great way to maximize your time and hit two birds with one stone. The following workout is guaranteed to leave you feeling sweaty and powerful!
You will complete a strength training movement for 45 sec followed by a 35-sec cardio interval for 5 rounds. Each round, the cardio interval will change. Feel free to adjust the intervals as needed. I would call this an intermediate workout, so if you are just getting back into the swing of things, reduce the intervals to 30 sec.
THE WORKOUT:
THRUSTERS (SQUAT TO SHOULDER PRESS W/ OPTIONAL WEIGHTED BAR OR DUMBBELLS) - 45 SEC
Cardio - 35 sec
ALTERNATING FORWARD OR LATERAL LUNGE WITH DUMBBELLS - 45 SEC
Cardio - 35 sec
BENT OVER DUMBBELL ROW (PALMS FACE IN) - 45 SEC
