20 Minute Total Body Blitz


Yesterday we talked about how we choose our time and our mindset. Today, I have set up a sample 20-minute high intensity workout. All you will need for this is yourself, 20 minutes, and a kick butt mindset!


This workout consists of 2 circuits. Complete each circuit 2 times.  It will be tough, but worth it! First and foremost I encourage you to listen to your body, and rest when you need to. The idea is to push and not pace, meaning instead of slowly getting through a segment, its okay to go hard and rest before the time is up. And if you need to rest longer, that is okay too.

A few tips before working out:
  • Make sure you are cleared to workout by your physician, especially if you have any health conditions
  • Have water close to you, staying hydrated is important
  • Prior to working out be sure to stretch and warm up.
  • Following the workout stretch and cool down.
  • Okay that’s about a wrap…
