This quick, full body workout mixes cardio and weights to help you burn calories and add muscle while keeping movements diverse and engaging. This workout also includes a break for abdominal work between each set of exercises; by the time you have completed the workout, you will have done two minutes of hovers/planks!
Complete each exercise by performing 12 repetitions, and repeat each block of work three times. For strength leg movements and chest and back exercises, use heavier weights. For bicep and tricep exercises, use lighter weights. For cardio exercises, do not use weights. This workout targets the legs, chest, abs, biceps, triceps, shoulders, and back -- a full body experience!
