Workout Routine: Overall Body Circuit with focus on CORE

I was able to workout with one of my clients who just so happens to be a very good friend — and it’s always a nice change of pace for me. We keep one another in line and she’s always looking for harder, more advanced moves – which keeps me doing the same.  She’s the perfect “workout partner” – never bailing, always motivated and ready to go.

We did a whole mixture of things – no gym machines necessary – with a main focus on CORE. Here is just a list of some of the exercises we did:

• Tricep kickbacks in pike position
• Jabs/Hooks/Uppercuts
• Planks with hip dips
• Side planks with torso twists (side pillars)
• Toe Reaches (alternating)
• Tricep dips with feet completely elevated
• Push ups with medicine ball
• Oblique Twists (torso twists) with dumbbell
• Lower back extensions
• Various other core work with stability ball

Best song of the workout: Stupid Girls Remix, Pink

Hardest part of the workout: Whew — the hardest for me was probably some of the work with the stability ball (holding it with my feet) because my legs were still sore from my workout the other day.

Tip for you: Find a friend who is compatible with you and get together – look for ways to increase the intensity of your exercise. Keep coming up with ideas – this type of workout will not only work – but it will keep it fun and not such a “chore”.
