I have found with adding nutritional cleansing and protein pacing I don't have to pack in super long workouts -- plus I just don't have the time.
I like set repeats which is a effective overall workout for both strength, toning and cardio. I'll do this type of workout 2-3 times a week in addition to some running and walking.
Equipment- dumbbells (your choice on weight)
Your favorite music -- I'm working on a playlist (if you have any favorite songs comment below and I'll make a playlist).
3 exercises (cardio, legs, arms), 40 secs each exercise; do all arm weights standing
Goal is continuous movement
Set 1 - butt kicks, front lunges, shoulder press
Set 2 - jumping jacks, squat jumps, chest press
Set 3 - burpees, backward lunges, arm raises
Set 4 - high knees, lilly pad squats, bicep curls
Set 5 - jump rope, squat hold, overhead tricep extensions
Set 6 - scissor jumps, sumo squat jumps, push -ups
Set 7 - star jumps, calf raises, lat pull down
30 sec break water if needed
Repeat sets 1-7
End with 2 minutes abs
1 min bicycle crunches
1 minute Russian twists
Cool down (stretches of your choice)
I linked to some of the less well-known exercises above but if you have questions please drop me a note.
As always feel free to modify the exercises to be more low impact if they don't suit your personal situation.
Hope this helps keep you motivated!
