Quick Fix Workout Routine

There’s no real get fit quick scheme. You can eat healthily and work out hard in the gym, but it takes time and dedication. You can definitely do it! You just can’t expect to skip the hard work to be truly healthy and fit. We can help get the ball rolling though, with this awesome, effective, full-body workout. These exercises combined, will leave you feeling accomplished and probably leave your muscles feeling a little sore too.  

Bulgarian Lunges

Stand with your right leg stretched out in front of yourself and your left foot behind yourself, rested on a bench or chair. Holding 25 lb. weights in each of your hands, do 12 lunges, then switch legs.

Rowing Machine

Rowing is a great full body workout if you have a rowing machine. If not, you can do the same thing with a weight machine and convert it to a rower. Be sure to keep your shoulders back and do 15 reps.

Skull Crushers

These can be scary, if you don’t have a spotter, so be sure to be careful. Laying on your back, hold one weight in both of your hands and bend your elbows at a 90 degree angle, slowly lowering the weight towards your head. You’ll feel this in your triceps, do 12 reps.

Windmill Abs

Lay on your back with your hands on the ground. Hold a yoga ball between your feet and lift up your legs. Making a windmill motion, back and forth, twist your hips touching the ball to the ground once then swing your legs in an arch to the other side. Touch each side of the ground 12 times.

Cross-Body Curls

Holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms outstretched to the side, bring your arms inward like a bear hug. Touch the weights together in the middle and return to the starting position. Do 12 reps.

Yoga Ball Planks

Get into a plank position, with your forearms resting on the top of a yoga ball. For 30 seconds, move your arms in a circular motion to the right. For the next 30 seconds move your arms in a circular motion in the other direction. Your abs will thank you later.
