Express (20 min or less)

The shoulder has an immense range of motion — the most of any joint in the body. But this comes with a catch: because of its range, it’s also the most unstable. As a result, nearly 70% of people will experience some sort of shoulder disorder in our lifetime. Often, the injury includes one of the rotator cuff muscles. Muscle imbalances from things like: desk work, driving, using a mouse/keyboard, stress (which often makes people tighten up their traps and hunch their shoulders), sitting/standing in “hunchback” posture and lack of attention to the muscles you can’t see in the mirror combine to form a perfect storm for shoulder pain and injuries.

A strong, stable and flexible rotator cuff can preserve shoulder health and increase upper body strength. This 20 minute upper body routine focuses on strengthening the shoulder and rotator cuff using light weights.

Yay! This 16 minute workout is made up entirely of different variations of my favorite glute exercise: THE GLUTE BRIDGE! This routine targets the glutes and WILL help reshape your backside! Remember to focus on the glutes the whole time. Connect your mind to muscle for the best results!

This express booty workout is only 15 minutes long so it's a great one to add on at the end of another workout. If you're short on time or if you just want to add in some extra, focused butt work to your regular routine, this is a perfect choice!

This 20 minute HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workout consists of 3 circuits that alternate between 2 different cardio exercises. Remember, the goal with HIIT is to push yourself out of your comfort zone during each interval while taking only quick rest times between. Do your best and work as hard as you can with each interval. You will be able to push yourself more with shorter rest times the more fit you become. Interval training burns WAY MORE calories than steady state cardio so just hang in there and work at your own pace if you need to. HIIT causes your body to burn fat for the rest of the day even after you're done with the workout! 20 minutes is all you need of HIIT so give it all you got!

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with a killer ab workout! This 15 minute routine focuses on the core with some bonus butt work thrown in!

This 9 minute sequence is completely devoted to the inner thighs! Women complain to me about their inner thighs all the time but most women aren't doing anything to work that area. This routine is a great one to add on at the end of a leg or cardio workout for a little extra toning work. Remember to stretch the hip flexors when you are done.

It is so important to strengthen the back and the rear deltoids. So many people sit hunched over all day at desks or computers and those muscles get weak and imbalanced. This creates back pain and poor posture. I created this 18 minute workout for those who don't have a lot of time but still need to get a back workout in. This is the perfect routine to add on to another workout or to use when you are short on time.

This 17 minute interval workout alternates between 3 minutes of strength training and a minute and a half of cardio. Studies have shown that mixing aerobics with weights is the fastest way to blast away fat. Interval training burns serious calories and accomplishes a lot in a short amount of time! This fun interval pattern combined with upbeat, energetic music will keep you enthused during and after your workout!

I hear complaints from women ALL the time about how much they hate their inner thighs! Here is a 15 minute workout that focuses on toning the inner thighs using the stability ball. The stability ball is an inexpensive piece of exercise equipment that is a great tool to help you get in shape. This is a great routine to add at the end of your leg workout or if you are looking to tighten that dreaded inner thigh area.

If you don't have a stability ball I highly suggest going out and buying one for this 11 minute sequence alone! The stability ball is an inexpensive piece of exercise equipment that is a great tool to help you get in shape. The stability ball forces your body to stabilize itself while doing exercises. Whether you've recently recovered from a hamstring injury or you're starting a new exercise routine, keeping your hamstrings strong and flexible will help prevent future injury. The hamstrings are the three muscles that make up the back of the upper thigh. Weight-bearing and stretching exercises that target the hamstrings will improve your range of motion, muscle strength and agility. This 11 minute hamstring circuit consists of 3 moves repeated 3 times. The backs of your legs will be screaming but remember to work through the burn!

This 13 minute express workout is great when you are short on time. Using only a medium resistance band you will be shedding body fat and shaping muscles quickly and effectively!

This 11 minute workout is a quick and effective circuit that will have your shoulders burning! If you are short on time but would still like to add some definition to your shouders this is a great way to do it!
