THE NO EXCUSES WORKOUT!

Depending on your current level of fitness, perform the first exercise for 20 seconds to one minute and then rest for 30 seconds before beginning the next exercise. If you need more challenge, shorten or sans the rest period.

Work until you can build up to doing 4 circuits back to back.

1. Plank-In Push Up Position on toes and hands. Hold for desired time. If you need more challenge, push yourself back away from your hands, until your hands are in front of your head.

2. Push ups – (Knee push ups are fine.)

3. Wall Sit – Back up against wall. Feet are 1-2 feet away from wall. Bend knees until your legs are parallel to the floor and you are in a sitting position. Hold for desired time.

4. Stationary Lunge Left Leg-Take a big step with Left Leg. Bend Both Knees and return to starting point. Repeat for desired time.

5. Stationary Lunge Right Leg (See above)

6. Jumping Jacks

Repeat. Work up to repeating a total of 5 times for maximum fat burning.

This workout can even be split up into several sessions a day for similar results.
