Hi Everyone!

One round of this workout only takes 10 minutes, but it will get you sweaty fast! Of course you can repeat the workout from 1-3 times. 

I used a 20 lb dumbbell for the weighted exercises. When selecting a weight make sure it is challenging for you. If you start to lose proper form decrease the weight. Form is always number one. 

I followed this workout with  a 4.5 mile run outside. It took me 38 minutes at a comfortable pace. I am continuing my training for My First Half Marathon, which is three weeks from yesterday. 

Enjoy today's workout! I also posted a weekly workout schedule for those of you who prefer to follow a plan. You can find that here: Weekly Home Workout Schedule.

  1. Thank you, my Natural Path suggested 10 moves interval training done twice, four times a week. Plus two 20 minute weighs and five to six yoga/pilates/stretch.

    This would be perfect. Very challenging.
    Your videographer is correct, you do make it look effortless! Fantastic.
    Thank you
