Enjoy some time outside (if Mother Nature is cooperating) with this quick cardio and strength training workout. Short sets of bodyweight exercises are a great way to keep the heart rate going while building strength. Do your best so that you can feel great after! Here we go…
One mile run
10 Rounds of:
- 5 push-ups
- 10 sit-ups
- 15 air squats
One mile run
If you need to scale the run – opt for a one-mile run/walk combo.
Push-ups: Begin in a plank position with hands stacked under shoulders. Lower body to the floor, keeping abs engaged. Return to plank with arms extended.
Sit-ups: start by sitting with legs diamond shape in front of you. Touch soles of your feet together and slide sit-bones toward feet (butterfly legs). Engage abdominals to lower back to the floor, touching your hands to the floor behind your head. Then return to the start position and tap hands to the floor in front of your feet.
Air-squats: Begin with feet just wider than hip-width apart. Keeping chest elevated, lower hips until parallel with the floor. Squeezing at the base of the butt, return to standing.
