Express (20 min or less)

This is a COOL 8 minute workout that uses the gliders to target up the back, triceps, and backs of the shoulders. I am using a pair of felt squares from the craft store but you can purchase a pair of the actual fitness Gliding Discs here: http://www.glidingdiscs.com/. You can also use paper plates or small towels. These "swimming" movements really wake up the muscles along the back side of the body in a new way. This routine is a must try!

This 19 minute workout is devoted to toning the triceps! The back of the arm is a complaint I hear about all the time from women. You MUST strength train the arms in order to see them tighten and tone. This routine uses 3 exercises, repeated 3 times to really blast the triceps!

This 18 minute routine is great when you are short on time but still need to get your glute work in! Your glutes will be on fire during this workout! These moves will help tighten and lift the butt.

This 10 minute routine is packed with lots of different exercises to help you sculpt your abs and strengthen your core. You will be on your way to a trimmer, tighter midsection with this workout!

This is a quick 11 minute cardio routine that does not include any plyometrics! I chose to make this more of the "bouncy" style of cardio so that you can add it on after a leg workout or if your legs are sore from the day before. The moves run together for a non-stop aerobic workout without burning out the legs.

In this 8 minute workout you will do 7 different variations of the superman exercise. These movements are great at strengthening the lower back. This routine may be difficult for most people so take breaks as needed.

This 17 minute  ab workout is very controlled and deliberate. Breathing is very important when it comes to working the abdominals. Try to over exaggerate your breathing with this routine to really contract the diaphragm and squeeze the abdominal muscles. So you should be crunching at that exhale when the abs are at their tightest to get that deep contraction. These moves combined with cardio and a proper diet will help you see definition in your abs.

The 6 exercises in this 8 minute routine will push your abs to fatigue and have your abs begging for mercy!

I love training rear delts! When most people train their shoulders they will usually include exercises for the front deltoids, side deltoids, and the trapezius muscles, but the posterior deltoids are most often neglected. Strengthening your rear delts will help to keep your shoulders balanced and help to prevent a lot of shoulder injuries and rotator cuff problems. The rear delts have a tendency to be the weakest link in shoulder training and they effect posture so if you strengthen them you'll improve how you lift overall. Form is extremely important when trianing the rear delts so this workout is slow and controlled using light weights.

This 20 minute cardio workout requires no equipment but will definitely have you burning some calories!

Even though high-intensity workouts are typically shorter in length than moderate-intensity, you continue to burn a significant number of calories and fat for hours after your workout stops. Your body has to expend more energy to recover from a high-intensity workout. This additional energy is referred to as post-exercise oxygen consumption or EPOC or the "after-burn." The number of calories your body uses to recover is proportional to the intensity of the exercise you do. As exercise intensity rises the duration and magnitude of the EPOC also increases. During high-intensity exercise, you activate more metabolically-active fast-twitch muscle fibers. This not only burns more calories but causes your body to pump out more fat-burning hormones that mobilize body fat. This hormonal response is key to changing your body composition. Research suggests that high-intensity exercise trumps moderate-intensity exercise when it comes to burning belly fat. It seems to be particularly effective for reducing visceral abdominal fat, the type of fat deep in the pelvic cavity that’s linked with a greater risk for health problems like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. In addition, long periods of moderate-intensity cardio can break down muscle tissue. Therefore, high-intensity exercise is better not only for improving body composition but superior from a health standpoint too.

No equipment is required for this 16 minute metabolism boosting HIIT workout. Remember go breathless with each interval and incinerate fat in no time!

You will need one dumbbell (I am using a 10 lb weight) for this 10 minute routine. 3 moves are repeated twice to really burn out the abs!
