Boost Your Workout!!!

Here is a fun & creative way to boost your dull, repetitive workout you are SICK of!

On notecards write an exercise on the front and a different exercise on the back. You will do as many reps as possible of the first exercise for 60 seconds, then flip the card and do as many reps as possible of the second exercise with no rest in between for 60 seconds. You can make as many or as few note cards you want, just take a 30 second rest between "super sets" (two moved done back-to-back without rest in between).

This kind of method is called the zigzag method. It effectively increases lean muscle mass and decreases body fat by engaging more muscle fibers and burning TONS of calories in a short amount of time (www.womenshealthmag.com).

The great thing about this workout is you can do it anywhere! At home, at a hotel, even the workplace. Challenge yourself by increasing your work time to 90 seconds or decrease it if you feel you are not working your hardest for the full minute. Make sure you flip the card after your first exercise and begin the next exercise immediately. Start with making 4 cards. That is 8 exercises total (8 minutes of work/4 minutes rest)

Here are some examples for your notecards:

Notecard 1 -

side A: LUNGES

Notecard 2 -

side A: SQUATS

side B: JUMPING JACKS
