Get Back in Shape (at home) Workout

Okay, it’s almost 2011.  And you’re gung ho about working out.  But you’re not going to tell or promise anybody that you are getting back in shape right?  Here’s a great workout when you’re just getting back in the swing of things.  It’s also great for those of you who work out regularly when you don’t have time to get to the gym or need to get something done quickly or in between loads of laundry.

Perform the following 3 Exercises back to back with as little rest as possible:

1. Push Ups (start with a number that is about 75% of the most you can do at one time)
2. Situps (15-30; start with a number that is moderately difficult)
3. Body Weight Squats (10-20; start with a number that is moderately difficult)

Perform exercises for 30 minutes.  Keep track of how many total supersets (performing one set of each is one superset) you are able to do.  Once you’re able to do 10 sets (not easy, believe me; that’s an average of 3 minutes per set, including any rest periods you take), check back with me.  If this doesn’t get you ready for intermediate or advanced fitness training, just in time for Spring 2011, nothing will. Just kidding.  Best of luck and let me know if you have questions.
