Happy Happy Happy Monday!!

& I truly mean that

I can honestly say that I have had an incredible week last week. Remember ?? Well I’m still feeling incredible & sooo motivated!! I find myself constantly thinking about my next workout, what I’m going to buy at my next grocery shop and every day I’m looking for new workout clothes!! Love it.

Annnnddd,

I’ve began adding yoga into my life.

Yeah! I know! Yoga {!!!}

For those who are following me ,  or , you are more than likely already aware of my new found love. I really don’t know why I haven’t gotten involved with yoga sooner. I mean, I grew up being a gymnastic nerd & I use to create my own gym routines/stretching routines at home all the time. Yoga just seems to totally fit in with gymnastics…no? Well from what I can remember, I use to create some pretty crazy poses/stretches…so I think so!

Anyway…time to get into this butt kicking 12 minute workout.

When I did this workout – it really killed my quads. & stupid me did this workout after chest day…{Oh Well} I still managed to get in all my push ups & burpees so my couldn’t have been that bad !!! lolz!

Get.ready.to.sweat.

What You’ll Need:

+ + exercise mat

The Workout

Set your timer for a 12 minute countdown.

Complete the following reps for each exercise in the exact order below. (this is one round)

Aim for as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes (AMRAP)

20 Jumping Jacks 5 Push Ups 20 Prisoner Jump Squats 5 Burpees   

: Begin in the standing position, bend your knees, push your hips back and bring your palms to the ground in front of your toes. Jump backwards with your legs as you hold your upper body with straight arms – carrying your weight in your shoulders. Now you are in the push up position. Immediately bring your knees back into your chest, feet flat on the ground and jump as high as you can from the crouching position.

This workout is such a full body kill. The best part for me were the jump squats going into the burpees… …& by best, I of course mean worst!

How’s your motivation level lately?
