Haven't exercised in years? Or never?

Try this short circuit style workout to get your muscles ready for the next level!

High Knees
Perform this move for 30 seconds to one minute.  Obviously I would prefer one minute…but that’s easier said than done
How to do it: Run in place, bringing your knees up to your chest as high as you can, pumping your arms as quickly as you can.
Form tip: Try to land on the balls of your feet as you run and switch legs as fast as you can.

After the High Knees immediately perform 10 regular pushups

After the pushups immediately perform 20 bicycle crunches.

Here's how:
Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground (pull your navel in to also target your deep abs).
Put your hands behind your head, then bring your knees in towards your chest and lift your shoulder blades off the ground, but be sure not to pull on your neck.

Take a break…..allow your heartbeat to return to normal.  One minute to 2 minutes….take three if you need to.  As time progresses your endurance will increase.  So don’t kill yourself the first week in.  Okay?  Promise me…..

Repeat the above three exercises for a total of four sets.  This is your first day in so we just have to get things kicking.
