Burn, baby, burn!

Here’s my new favorite gym workout. It’s a great way to get an intense burn when you’re pressed for time, and I always feel it the next day!

• 10 minutes on a StairMaster (not a stepper, the machine with the actual revolving stairs). If you don’t have access to a stairmill of some sort, walk on a treadmill fast at a high incline…I’d say level 10. Go hard, it’s only 10 minutes!


• Weight circuit including: chest press, upright row, shoulder press, tricep press, alternating bicep curls, hip hinge, and wall squats using a stability ball. Try 20 reps of each exercise, using a weight that is uncomfortable but not too too heavy.


• 10 more minutes on the stairmill. You should really start sweating right about now.


• Repeat weight circuit with at least the same number of reps as the first set…add 5 more if you’re feeling frisky.


• Finish up with 10 minutes on the stairmill (no slacking!).


• If you still have time, do some sort of ab work; I usually do center and side planks.
