Total Body Workout Quickie!

Hello!! HAPPY Wednesday :D
How are you?! How's your week going so far?! I hope it's going FITastic :D But if you're lacking motivation, it's only midweek, so you still have plenty of time to get in some good workouts!! YOU GOT THIS...give yourself a good excuse to be merrier (lol), healthier, and feel more energized! Of course, I think it's the best gift you can give yourself this time of year!!

Little or no time to hit the gym this month?! No worries!! I've had a handful of people ask me to post a workout quickie :) The following is a workout from Basecamp Fitness in Santa Monica, California, famed for its 35-minute HITT classes! Because you change direction during each move, you fire up more muscles (plus zing your abs)!! I did this very workout this morning and felt a total body tune-up in less than 20 minutes :D
This routine mixes strength moves with bike intervals to bank a calorie-torching, allover-sculpting session...

WARM-UP
STEP-THROUGH: Face a doorway with hands on sides of frame. Step right leg forward into a lunge and lean back, stretching chest, shoulders, and left hip flexor upward. Hold for 3 seconds; stand. Alternate sides for 30 seconds.
STRETCHING JACK: Stand with feet hip-width apart. Bend forward and touch hands to floor, then walk hands out into a push-up. Walk feet to hands. Stand; do 2 jumping jacks. Continue for 30 seconds.
RIDE a stationary bike as fast as you can for 1 minute.
TOTAL TIME: 2 minutes.
*I personally warm-up for 5 minutes ;)

BLOCK 1
PLANK LIFT: Lie on right side with elbow under shoulder. Lift hips; raise and lower top leg for 30 seconds. Repeat on opposite side.
SIZZLE SPRAWL: Stand with legs shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and quickly run in place. Every 10 seconds, drop into a push-up, jump feet to hands, explode into tuck jump, and return to start. Continue for 1 minute.
BIKE fast for 1 minute.
TOTAL TIME: 3 minutes.

BLOCK 2
PUSH AND PLANK: From a push-up, drop down into a plank, 1 elbow at a time. Press back up into a push-up 1 hand at a time. Continue for 1 minute.
V-CRUNCH: Lie faceup with arms extended overhead. Lift hands and feet at same time and aim to touch toes. Slowly lower arms and legs to floor. Continue for 1 minute.
BIKE fast for 1 minute.
TOTAL TIME: 3 minutes.

BLOCK 3
CURTSY LUNGE: Step left foot to left, lowering into a side lunge. Push off left leg to stand, then step left foot behind you to right; lower until right thigh is parallel to floor. Return to start. Alternate sides for 1 minute.
SPEED SKATER: Stand on right leg with left leg behind you. Explosively hop to left leg, placing right foot behind it to soften landing. Alternate sides for 1 minute.
TOTAL TIME: 2 minutes.

Don't forget to COOL-DOWN for 2 - 5 minutes.

If you have ANY comments about this post...don't be shy! If you start to fatigue while doing the workout, focus on your form, and it'll help you finish strong!!  
I'm going out of town until Sunday, so my next post will be on Monday, December 14th :)
Have an AWESOME couple of days AND weekend!
SEE YOU back here on the 14th!!
