Total Body Makeover in 5 Minutes Flat

Get ready for a whole new you!

This is it. The start to a brand new you. Whether this is your first time starting a workout or you’ve been stuck in a rut with your current routine, this makeover will guarantee to set off the spark you need to bring change. Change takes time, and if you take 5 minutes out each day, the change you want will come faster than you think.

For this workout, we’re focusing on each muscle group individually. Usually, a 5-minute workout would be best with compound exercises; compound exercises involve working multiple muscle groups at once. Here, we’re focusing on specific muscle groups because we want to isolate, strengthen, and build more muscle. The more muscle you gain, the more fat you’ll be able to burn. Burning fat and building muscle all help tone, strengthen and sculpt your body. Feel accomplished, get motivated, get the fitness buzz going and commit to making a newer you!

Equipment Needed: Interval Timer (Gymboss is a free app download), 1 set heavy weights(20-25), set of medium weights(12-15), flat bench

Having an adjustable weight set can save time and money if you want to keep your workout at home. The CAP Barbell 40 Dumbbell Set will give you all the weight you need to help with your makeover.
