Hi Everyone!
Today's workout is quick and easy to fit into your schedule. I repeated it, but another option would be to fit it in a couple different times during the day (surely you can find 12 minutes somewhere!)
It's an interval workout and utilizes cardio bursts in between each exercise. For round 1 I jump roped, for round 2 I did high knees.
Interval workouts are a great way to get your heart rate up, and optimize your fat burn. This style of workout actually leads to increased fat/calorie burn for hours after your workout.
The breakdown is below the video. :) Have a great night! Also, if you're on facebook please vote for me in Fitness Magazine's Face of Fitness contest.
