Hi Everyone,

I tested this workout yesterday and I woke up this morning with a little soreness in my bum so it definitely works!  I love it when I target my glutes and feel sore the next day because let's face it, who doesn't want a great looking behind?  Squats and lunges are the all-time best exercises to give you that "Brazilian Butt" look so I've included those in addition to two other effective thigh and bum exercises.  The best part once again is the fact that you don't need any equipment and the workout is only 12 minutes short.  As always, I've included a beginner version and the entire workout sequence and ...

Hi Guys,

Today's routine will surely get your heart pumping and abs aching in only 12 minutes.  The best part is that you can do this workout anywhere and I've showed easier modifications so even beginners can follow along.  The workout is an interval workout meaning you'll perform each exercise for a set amount of time and you will alternate between a cardio and a core exercise.  Your goal is to complete 2 sets of all of these exercises.   All you're going to need is your interval timer, a mat, towel, or carpeted floor and of course, a big bottle of water. 

Remember to always include a warm-up and stretches afterwards.  A warm-up ...

Hi Everyone,

Today's an awesome full body workout that will get your heart racing and body burning in under 15 minutes.  I specifically chose large muscle group exercises to burn more calories and get more for your buck!  There are 3 different exercises in the circuit and the goal is to complete 4 or 5 sets.  All you're going to need is your interval timer and a bottle of water. 

Remember to always include a warm-up and stretches afterwards.  A warm-up can be as simple as running on the spot for a few minutes or running up and down the stairs if you have any.  My favorite warm-up is to jump rope for about 3 minutes.  The point of the ...

Hi Everyone,

I absolutely LOVED today's workout.  I think it's because I worked up a good sweat and felt every muscle in my body working.  And the best part is that it only took me 12 minutes!!  For this workout, you will need your interval timer, a jump rope, dumbbells, and a sturdy chair or bench, but don't worry if you don't have any equipment.  It's stil possible for you to do this workout at home using your own bodyweight.  Just find a sturdy chair or even a low coffee table and you're good to go.  I hope you enjoy today's workout as much as I did and please let me know how you did.  As always, I've included a beginner version and ...

Hi Guys,

What a night I had last night.  I'm sure every parent out there knows the feeling of interrupted sleep from 3am onwards.  It's such an exhausting feeling but instead of sleeping in and wasting the morning away, get up and start your day... even though you may look and feel like a zombie!  Tell yourself that you will take a quick cat nap in the afternoon if you have the luxury of doing so or make sure that you get to bed earlier than usual.  Today's 12-minute full body workout will boost your energy and make sure you sleep like a baby... until your baby wakes you up that is. :)  If the exercises are too difficult, then try the beginner modifications or try one of ...

Hi Everyone,

Today is an upper body workout and all of the exercises will be done with your own bodyweight.  All you're going to need is a mat and your interval timer.  The goal is to complete 5 sets of all 5 exercises and it should take you no more than 20 minutes from start to finish, including a warm-up and stretches afterwards.  

Many of you have been asking me how to warm-up.  It can be as simple as running on the spot for a few minutes or running up and down the stairs if you have any.  My favorite warm-up is to jump rope for about 3 minutes.  The point of the warm-up is exactly that - to make the muscles warm and supple and ready for ...

Hi Guys,

I have an amazing full body workout for you today.  I love countdown workouts because you can set the time to suit your schedule and fitness level.  If you only have 10 minutes to spare, you'll still get a great workout.  I recommend doing as many rounds as you can in 12 minutes.  The exercises focus on large muscle groups for the lower and upper body as well as cardio. As always, the beginner version is included and the entire workout details are below:

 

WORKOUT DETAILS:

Keep track of your time on a clock, Gymboss Interval Timer or stop watch if you have one.  Perform the following 5 exercises one after the other until 12 ...

Hi Everyone,

The biggest hurdle most people face today is not having enough time to exercise.  Well today I am faced with a time crunch so I needed my workout to be quick and effective.  How do 8-minutes sound?  Surely, anyone can find 8 minutes if they wanted to.  But let me tell you... you're really going to work hard in those 8-minutes!  The workout focuses on large muscle groups for the lower and upper body as well as cardio.  I also designed it in a way that you're working both your left and right sides since we all have one side stronger than the other that needs more work.  As always, I've included a beginner version and the entire workout details are below:

Hi Everyone,

I have to admit, today's workout killed me! It's normal for our energy levels to go through cycles of high's and low's so it's important that you always listen to your body and push to your limits.  Today's workout is an amazing overall workout.  It works your legs, arms, and core to the max, and it has a few dynamic moves to help increase power and strength... and not to mention, really really get your heart racing!  If you're a beginner, I don't want to scare you off.  I have included easier modifications so please give it a try.  The goal is to complete 5 sets of all 4 exercises and you'll find all...

Hi Guys,

It's important to listen to our bodies.  This week I've really been pushing my workouts hard, so today I felt like changing the pace a little with a core and cardio workout.  This workout is about 15 minutes long so push yourself and make every second count.  Today's routine focuses on strengthening the core and gaining power in the legs so your heart will definitely be pumping!  A beginner version is included in the second half of the video.  The complete workout details are below:

 

WORKOUT DETAILS:

Set your Gymboss Interval Timer to 6 rounds and two intervals: 10 seconds of rest followed by 30 seconds of work. The workout is split up...
