While gyms such as our local YMCA’s closing due to COVID-19 that doesn’t mean that our workouts need to stop. 

That’s right! Going to the gym is a good way to start your workouts and actually get motivated but if you didn’t know you can do these same workouts at home.. just by substituting your routine. 

So there’s no need to put a pause on our summer body goals just because of COVID-19 ... maybe take this opportunity to self motivate yourself. 

Jumping Squats - 45sec

Sit up - 45sec 

Mountain climbers - 45 sec

Toe touches 45sec

Jumping lunges - 45sec 

Plank 45sec

Jumping jacks - 45 sec

10 burpees 

Butt kicks - 45 sec

Make sure that between each exercise your are taking a 15sec break. These exercises can be modified or substituted with others if you prefer. For example if you have stairs you can try running up and down the stairs as a workout. This whole circuit will have your heart beating and calories dropping.
