Burn Baby, Burn!

Doing High Energy- High Intensity, Full Body workouts get your heart pumping, muscles moving, and sense of self soaring! Burn Mega Calories, Blast Fat, and Sculpt your Muscles in a 20 minute Fun and Focused workout!

Functional Fitness involves moving as many muscles as you can with economy and fluidity of motion.  No stomping.  No flailing. No wasted movement.  And your moves are  in sync with your breath.  It’s fully concentrated and concise!
This not only builds strength and conditioning, but power and endurance. Further, you speed up your metabolism throughout the day —meaning you’ll burn more calories all day long, even after your workout is over.

Try my “Seven Scorcher” exercises that will target all your areas!
From Arms to Abs & Back to Butt, Your Legs provide the Push!!

Do 3 sets of 7 moves:
Do each of the seven exercise for 30 secs – resting 15-20 seconds between them, and then rest for 2 mins between each set.

First,   do a light warm up “soft jog” in place: 1 min.  Keep a light spring in your step – No pounding the pavement!  Pull your shoulder blades back, put your chest out,  hold your posture upright and strong to open your throat and your diaphragm.   Breath slowly and deeply to get your oxygen circulating throughout your body, like warming up the engine in your car.  The more air in, the more O2 to your muscles because you’re about to crank them up!

Ok!  Ready to start! Do each move with all out energy for 30 secs, then rest 20sec before next move. Research shows that high intensity exercises burn up to 50% more fat than moderate exercising.
