45 Minute Cardio Strength Workout



Sometimes getting a solid cross training workout in at home is hard. Especially with a toddler. Sometimes we make the best of nap time (but that is when I clean and make dinner). Sometimes he plays on his own. Sometimes he offers really good resistance training. He is like a really awkward 25 lb weight right?

I try to get an hour of cross training in, but sometimes that doesn't happen, and that's okay. That is why I have this 40-45 minute work out that will kick your trash up one side and down the other. At least it does for me. And it is easy, 20 reps/side per move. Repeat the entire thing twice. Or three times if you want to destroy yourself...I only do it twice.

For this workout you will need dumbbells or resistance bands. If you don't have them, you can improvise with cans of food, water bottles, your children, heavy books, whatever you have around your house that is easy to hold and weighs 5-10 lbs.
