25 Minute Workout (Repeat 2x for best results)

Everyone today is always so busy, I always hear people saying they don't have time to work out.  Well I'm here to tell you that is not true.  You always have time to work out.  Like I've said before, something is better than nothing.
That being said, I wanted to create a workout to get your heart rate up high, blast fat, rocket your metabolism and strengthen and tone.  This is a workout where you can do all that in 25 minutes.  I think it's best to workout for at least an hour a day, so ideally this should be repeated twice, but it is still a great 25 minute workout if you're short on time one day.

So let's dive right in!



High Intensity – each for 30 seconds

Jump squats
Diagonal knee squash
Mountain Climbers
Burpees

Rest 1 minute

Strengthening – each for 45 seconds

Twisting plank
Straight leg sit ups
Tricep dips
Donkey kicks
Squat side to side

Low Intensity – 1 minute each

Jumping jacks
1 legged 4 point hop (30 seconds each leg)
Butt kicks
Jump rope
Side kicks
Squat punches

Strengthening – each for 45 seconds

Pushups
Swimmers
Crunches
Side planks each side

Rest 30 seconds

High Intensity – each for 30 seconds

High knees
Jump lunges
PlyoJacks
Hitch-kicks

Rest for 3 minutes

I've told you before about my GymBoss (for iPhone) app before.  That's what I use for my timed workouts like this one.  (I used to use HIIT on Android if you're interested.)  I love both these apps, you can set different rounds at different time settings, adding in rests etc., so it just counts down your workout for you and all you have to think about it working hard!  Any questions or comments on any of the moves in here, feel free to comment.  Also, if you need any modifications for injuries, etc., please ask and I will give you some!
