**20 Minute Workout**

So...recently I promised a group of ladies that I would come up with a 20 minute workout they could easily do at home, in the comfort of their own living room. Life has been crazy lately but this morning I bit the bullet and did it. It was pretty quick and off the cuff so to speak but I went through it as I wrote it down and I was out of breath! I thought it was a pretty good workout and one you could easily scale to wherever you are fitness-wise. You can start out using body-weight only and add weights as you get stronger. Give it a TRY!

**20 MINUTE WORKOUT** (You can do at home!)

Warm-up~ 

1 min: Arm Swings - across your body / forwards and backwards windmill

1 min: Jumping Jacks / March or Jog in place

1 min: Push-ups - regular or on knees OR against counter

1 min: Squats - Squat down and stand back up OR sit and stand back up using a chair or bench

1 min: Jumping Jacks / March or Jog in place

1 min: REST

10 repetitions: Shoulder Press - use dumbbells or canned foods OR anything around house you can lift over your head - start at shoulders, extend your arms up

30 seconds: Wall Sit - squat/sit against wall with back flat and knees bent at 90 degrees

REPEAT Shoulder Press/Wall Sit for 1 more round

1 min: Jumping Jacks / March or Jog in place

1 min: REST

1 min: Push-ups - regular or on knees OR against counter

1 min: Squats - Squat down and stand back up OR sit and stand back up using a chair or bench

1 min: Abdominal Crunch - OR whatever core move you like

1 min: REST

1 min: Dumbbell Row - use dumbbells or canned foods or anything around house - squat with flat back, slightly bent over and PULL the weights up to your arm pits

1 min: Jumping Jacks / March or Jog in place

1 min: Abdominal Crunch - OR whatever core move you like

1 min: REST

1 min: Walking Lunge - Google lunge if you aren't sure how...basically take a step in front of you and bend your front leg as if doing a split squat - do this around your house while walking

1 min: Dumbbell Row - use dumbbells or canned foods or anything around house - squat with flat back, slightly bent over and PULL the weights up to your arm pits

That's it! You don't have to keep doing the designated movement for the full minute if it is too much. Go at your own pace and you can easily work up to going the full minute and then to using weights if you start out with none.
