Get Total Body Toned

Hopefully you always start your week with the intention of having high intensity and demanding workouts but as we all know time can sometimes come and bite you in the ass and unfortunately one of the things that gets behind is your workout.

So we’re going to make it extra easy for you and give you a total body workout you can do at home or even traveling which challenges you with your body weight, some resistance bands and a jump rope.

You’re going to get a lot of this workout because it will activate your core muscles and tell your body that it needs to burn some belly fat for the energy required to really push you through all the movements.

Another bonus is that you can throw this workout into your regular routine to switch it up and give your body a jump-start muscle shock that it needs in order to prevent from stagnation and the dreaded plateau.

Remember to get some running shoes which provide lots of support and cushioning cause you’re going to need it for the first and last part (my favorite running shoes are Vomero’s, here is the link to Zappos – Nike Pegasus for Women, Nike Pegasus for Men).

I mentioned that you should get some resistance bands and a jumping rope because these are super cheap and easy to take with you traveling, here are a couple links if you wanted to order them online – LCD Digital Jump Rope and Adjustable Resistance Toning Tubes.

You ready? Here we go…
