Killer Interval Workout!

I did each exercise for 1 minute, with 15 seconds rest when moving to the next exercise. (you can modify this to 45 seconds of work with 25 seconds rest)

I rested 1 minute between each round and completed 3 rounds.

Weights I used are in parentheses, if no weigh is listed I only used body weight.

3x
1. Goblet Squat (25#)
2. Mountain Climber
3. 2 Arm Dumbbell Swing (20#)
4. T-Pushup (5#)
5. Split Jump
6. Dumbbell Row (10#)
7. Side Lunge and Touch
8. Pushup Position Row
9. Lunge and Rotate (15#)
10. Push Press (10#)

Here is a link to the exercises.  The only one I significantly modified is the dumbbell swing (used 2 arms instead of 1)

Great 15min Workout

Another modification to a crossfit workout called "Stephanie":

20 sec on/10 sec off for 4 min each ex (called tabata)

sit ups
box jumps
bench press (recommend only bar, 45lbs) or if no bench-do chest press on ball with dumbbells


Should only take about 15min with transitions. For a little cardio addition, I went for a 3 mile run/walk with the family and dogs.

"Barbara" workout

Did a modification of a crossfit workout and really liked it:

5x
10 pull (I  did jumping ones with negatives on the way down)
20 push
30 sit
40 air squats

I did it all with no real rest because I wanted to do it as fast as possible since baby was awake and gets bored playing without us fairly quickly :)
