30 Minute Home Workout

During the holiday's finding time for a workout is difficult. I find myself missing workouts if I don't have it scheduled. First of all, schedule 3 - 30 minute workouts in your daytimer. They will be done at your home...you don't have to leave the comfort of your own house! Second, follow the workout below and get in great shape (you will need 2 sets of dumbbells and an exercise ball). Complete each exercise 2 times with 20 repetitions.

1. Plie' squat with a lateral raise

2. Step back lunge with a curl

3. Standing shoulder press

4. Bent over rows

5. Ball bench press

* Jumping Jacks - 1 minute

6. Ball crunches

7 . Reverse crunches with ball

8. Squat to press

9. Plank (30 seconds)

10. Triceps kickbacks

* Mountain Climbers - 1 minute

This is a great workout that will help you burn calories and gain lean muscle. We can all find 30 minutes 3 times a week (1.5 hours!) without leaving your own home. Stay positive this holiday season, this workout will help you stay physically and mentally fit during the holidays.

If you would like a home workout with a video demonstration and a personal trainer taking you through the entire workout, go to http://www.personalpodtraining.com/ , every month we provide a new home workout (30-40 minutes).

I would love to help you!
