Today's Workout

This workout uses supersets, a great way to mix it up. This particular workout is a legs/abs workout. You'll notice that each leg exercise is paired with a core exercise. For each group of exercises, you do two exercises back to back without resting, then rest at the end of the set. This will keep your heart rate up for a longer amount of time, helping you to get more of a cardio workout. The leg press exercise does require a piece of gym equipment. If you don't have access to a gym, try step-ups instead. Repeat each superset 3 times before continuing on to the next set. Be sure to use proper form and to challenge yourself without going overboard. Listen to your body. Have fun!

15 squats
15 scissor kicks
Rest 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times

15 walking lunges
15 bicycle crunches
Rest 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times

15 leg presses (or weighted step-ups if you're at home)
30 second plank
Rest 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times

15 Stiff legged deadlift
15 Weighted crunches (hold a weight with extended arms above your core while crunching)
Rest 30 seconds
Repeat 3 times

Get in a good stretch and you're done with a quick abs and legs workout. Now go conquer your day.
