Full Body Dynamic Circuit

I was so excited about this workout, I posted it the day we did it.  I've been on the lookout for some new challenging exercises to add to my repertoire.  We had a few grunts and groans during this workout today, so I know it's a good one!  You will get a good burn in both your legs and arms, and ALL of these dynamic exercises will work your core!   Are you excited yet? This one is a must do.... ENJOY!

Vacation is always better with EXERCISE!


I am on vacation this week, enjoying the beautiful Carmel, California and staying right on the breathtaking Pebble Beach Golf Course.  While I enjoy taking a break from the routine of life and chilling a bit, I can't really enjoy it without getting my workout in!  I love taking the opportunity to run 17-mile drive, but a full week of just running doesn't quite do it.  Try the workout below at home or while on the road. 

Perform each exercise for 1 minute, then rest anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute (as needed- depending on your fitness level).  Complete each exercise in the following order and then repeat.  Complete 2-3 sets.
