What’s more convenient than a workout routine you can do in your own home? Well, it doesn’t get much better than that, especially if you’re busy with work and/or parenting. These super toning exercises will maximize your time and give you an all-around burn. Body weight workout routines are quite possibly the best type of workout routines because they challenge your stabilizer muscles improving balance and coordination. This workout hits your quads, hamstrings, back, triceps, chest, abs, glutes, and calves. So here we go – it’s time to get a total body super tone using only your own bodyweight!
What to Do: You will perform 2 sets of the exercises below, resting two minutes between sets. The workout routine is intentionally designed not to hit one area back to back. This way, one region won’t get overly fatigued. For optimal results perform 3-4 times weekly on non-consecutive days.
Exercises:
1. Plié/Sumo Squat – 15 reps
2. Pushups – 10 reps
3. Bird Dog – 10 reps each leg
4. Push Throughs – 30 reps
5. Hip Extensions – 12 reps on each leg
6. Calf Raises – 40 reps
