The work out of the day!

The Work Out of the Day!!!!

In this quick 20 minute work out we will focus on both upper body and lower body! 
What you will need:
A step
A set of dumbells that you can work with for 30 seconds on the upper body.  Focusing on a sustainable weight rather than one that is too heavy... you can also use a resistance band for either upper body work out.
The best attitude ever!
And a timer!  We will be doing 30 - 60 second sets and utilizing quick transitions in between!!! 
Ready....
Set.....
Go!!

60 seconds of step ups (utilizing a step and either stepping one foot at a time up and down and switch, or jumping.  Please challenge your body accordingly)
30 seconds Chest presses (using weights lie on your back arms beginning at 90 degree angles, wrists above elbows, press straight up until arms are straight, avoid locking the elbows) if using a resistance band (grab band with hands approximately 8 to 12 inches apart and pull away from each other, coming back to center slowly)
60 seconds step ups
30 seconds wall squat arm raises (sit against a wall in a squat position using leg strength to support, grab your weights and raise arms from sides straight out in front of you until the arms reach shoulder height and slowly lower) if using a resistance band (hook band underneath feet and perform the same movement with the arms)
60 seconds step ups
60 seconds of active recovery (walk around the room)
Repeat 3 or 4 times depending on where your body is at today!!!!

Enjoy your day and llow it to be the best day ever!!!  There is no discoursein the world, it only resides within our minds! 
Namaste!
