Need A Cardio and Strength Building Workout But Not A Lot Of Time? Try These... Even At The Office!!

Sometimes we really, REALLY want to work out, but time just doesn't allow a long run, bike ride or trip to the gym.  With that in mind, I started thinking about exercises that could get your metabolism revved up quickly and efficiently without taking up too much time.  I have included several videos for you to watch and maybe you can utilize them in a timed pinched day when a long workout is out of the question. 

Do each of the first 4 exercises with moderate intensity.  I recommend no more than 30 seconds for each exercise, working on form over speed.  For the last drill that I listed, #5, you turn them into faster, more intense exercises for short periods of time with a shorter recovery.  I have it all explained below!

Have fun... shape it... tone it... STRENGTHEN it and LOSE IT!!! 

1. Cardio Power moves:  POWER TOWEL JUMPS (Do :  http://www.livestrong.com/video/4176-cardio-power-moves-towel-jumps/
2. Mountain Climbers:  http://www.livestrong.com/video/4178-cardio-power-moves-mountain-climbers/
3. Lunge Runs: http://www.livestrong.com/video/4177-cardio-power-moves-lunge-runs/
4. Burpees:  This can be done with or without the pushups.  The pushups can be done on knees or on toes.  Do what works for you!  Most important thing to remember is to use good form!  Form is everything!!  This video shows different version of burpees, ending with some very advanced versions using gymnastic rings...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MGljX4bbps
5. TABATA drills!! Do each of the above exercises for 20 sec.with all of your energy and then rest for 10.  After you finish the 4 exercises, take a 2 minute break, hydrate and do them again.  Work up to 4 rounds of all the exercises!  

I GUARANTEE THAT WITH TIME, THESE EXERCISES WILL GIVE YOU  A METABOLIC LIFT, A STRONGER HEART AND A  TONED BODY!!
