Taking Workouts on the Road

In honor of the upcoming spring break....here are a few workouts that only require a chair and your own motivation!

From Jillfit.com: (former boss and awesome workout writer!)

Workout#1
Do this 3-minute circuit 6 times:
30 seconds split squat on R leg*
30 seconds split squat on L leg*
30 seconds squat jumps
30 seconds push-ups
30 seconds high knees
30 seconds rest
Repeat above circuit for a total of 6 times (18 minutes)
Finish off with 2 minutes of Burpees
20 minutes DONE!


*Split Squat = get a chair and put your foot up on it - face forward. Make sure as you lower your knee (the one with your foot on the chair) ensure that your front knee (with the foot on the ground) does NOT go over your knees! We don't need injuries!


Workout #2
Fast squats – 15 reps
Half-squats from the bottom to the middle – 15 reps
Pulse the squat at the mid-point for 15 inch-reps
Squat jumps – 15 reps
Pause all the way at the bottom, count to 10

Move up 1 more inch, count to 10
REPEAT FOR A TOTAL OF 5 ROUNDS COMPLETED
