Cardio 100's

So I realize it has literally been just forever since my last blog! I wanted to write up a quick workout for everybody just to show that I am still here. First I would like to say life has been crazy busy! First season came here in sunny Florida and I was crazy busy at work. Then for some reason we decided to sell our house and it actually SOLD!! We did not really expect it to sell so incredibly fast (and right in the middle of season). So the working and packing took up a lot of time, on top of looking for a new house. As of right now we are in limbo, living at my gracious cousins place while we wait on a short sale to pull through (fingers crossed!!!!). Phew I am tired just recapping it all. With all that was going on, I barely got in any workouts. I did what I could but sadly it was not enough to keep me as toned as I was. So these last 2 or 3 months I have been working EXTRA hard to get all my muscles back and lose the couple pounds I packed on. So this workout is in honor of blasting that fat! I have also come up with several great workouts but it will take awhile for me to find a home and record all of those. For now I will simply write this workout and if you have any questions feel free to ask!





Cardio 100's

25 Jumping Jacks
25 Squat Thrusts
25 Squat Jacks
25 Mountain Climbers
25 Squat Jumps

Repeat 4 times!!!!


100 High Knees at end



So this was NOT easy!!! Do it as fast as you can with good form. The squat thrusts are burpees without the pushup (squat down, put hands on floor, jump feet back into plank and jump back into squat and come up) these took the longest. The squat jacks look exactly like the jumping jacks only you hold a squat as you do them and keep hands on your hips or in front of you. With the mountain climbers and high knees the right AND left leg count as only ONE rep! So its right knee in, left knee in- ONE and so on. Do what you can and try really hard not to take any breaks!! Mine took a little less than 15 min and 30 seconds and I was sweating my butt off! Have fun and good luck!!
