    Way to go on the weight loss thus far! Don't get down, get up, and move! How big is your space at home? Do you have the means to invest in a couple of simple fitness items? If not, there's many things you can do at home, with your own body weight in the form of exersise! If you have even a 10x10 space, you can make up a little routine! I'm not going to lie, it's a little boring, but it's not impossible and the only excuses are the ones you make to yourself!

    Here's my little failsafe when I can't get to the gym:

    Start off crosslegged on the floor, play some relaxing or chanting music. Practice deep belly breathing, draw your breath into the bellybutton, hold for 3 seconds, relase through the lips. Do that 10 times.

    Slowly stand up, draw small circles with the arms, gradually make them bigger, and bigger untill your arms are in a full range of motion, for one minute.

    Extend your arms out so your body is in the shape of a T and do 20 gentle torso twists.

    Now, start with some jumping jacks-20

    Pushups-20 (full or modified form. Start with full form, them modify at failure)

    rest 30 seconds

    repeat 3 more times

    Rest one minute

    Burpees-10
    Reverse lunges 10 each side
    rest 30 seconds, repeat 3 more times

    Rest one minute

    Skip rope 1minute
    Crunches or V-ups-30

    rest 30 seconds

    Repeat 3 times

    Rest one minute

    Mountian Climbers 30
    Leg lifts (on all fours, extend leg back like you are kicking someone, contract butt-muscle!) 30 each side

    rest 30 seconds
    Repeat 3 times

    Rest one minute

    Dips on a chair-20
    Plyo-squats 20
    rest 30 seconds

    repeat 3 times
    rest one minute

    Now, start to cool down...

    Hold each pose for 20 seconds:

    Warrior
    Warrior 2
    Extended triangle
    King pigeon
    Downward dog
    cat flow

    Now, lay on the floor (on a mat or pillows) palms to the ceiling, knees and hips neutral, channel the breath to the belly and deep breath untill you are ready to get up again!

    Here's a link to the yoga poses: yogacards.com/yoga-pose-cards.html
  • just wondering anyone whose done this workout.....

    how long is taking you. i just realized today, that it takes me about a full hour to complete. doesnt that seem kinda long. i mean long enough in the sense that i dont even want to do anything like cardio afterwards.
  • Thanks for posting that JRockSoldier!

    You are welcome!!

    stellart It's taking me about an hour as well, and totally kicking my butt! I have to sit and just chill for awhile before I can even move again! I both hate and love the feeling.

    so are you doing any other exercise, like cardio or anything with it. tbh, i just dont want to do anything else after this workout.
  • Hey Ya's,

    This is meant to be a all-out interval workout. If you feel like you can do more afterwards, you didn't go hard enough. This is meant to empty the tank, for sure!
  • I have a quick question..wht are burpees?
  • Quote: I have a quick question..wht are burpees?
    I didn't know what one was either so I looked it up on wikipedia. Here is a video of how to do one. I'm going to assume they are the same as everyone else is talking about...I can't imagine there being more than one thing named burpee
