In case you blinked and missed it, 2017 is over and we’re already a week into 2018. And that means that if you were one of the 18 bajillion* people around the world who made a new year’s resolution relating to fitness, it’s time to face the music. Lucky for you, this super simple bodyweight workout helps you stick to your resolutions while still leaving time for all the other fun stuff going on in your life.
When I plan a workout for myself, often I’ll pick a push exercise, a pull exercise (harder but not impossible with bodyweight), a core exercise, and something to target my glutes, quads and hamstrings. Then I usually throw in a big, high-intensity, total-body movement to ensure I get some cardio. Planning a workout this way means that I target all the major muscle groups, giving me a great, total-body workout.
I’ve used this as the loose premise for the workout I’m sharing with you today – it’s super simple but still high intensity, and I’ve included links to all of the exercises in case you’re a little unsure about anything. I’d recommend bookmarking this one – I’m calling it early as one of your go-to workouts for 2018!
Enjoy, and Happy New Year!
