Interval Training

In a past post, I talked about alternate ways to do a good cardio workout and ways to make burning calories fun.  Well, tonight I tried a high intensity interval training that was able to help me get good cardio in AND build muscle at the same time.  Below is the routine I did.  Try it and let me know how you like it!

• 2min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates
• 1min. High Intensity Push-ups
• 1min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates
• 1min. High Intensity Two-Arm Dumbbell Row
• 1min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates
• 1min. High Intensity Upright Rows
• 1min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates
• 1min. High Intensity Dumbbell Curls
• 1min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates
• 1min. High Intensity Bench Dips
• 1min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates
• 1min. High Intensity Bicycle Crunches
• 2min. Low Intensity Straight Punches with 3-5 lb Dumbbells or weight plates

Don't be a hero with the weights on the high intensity exercises.  Pick a weight that you will be able to continue a high intensity motion with. (I used 25's).

This is a 15 minute total workout but I guarantee you will feel like you just worked out for an hour!  ENJOY!
