Best workout to lose weight

There are so many great workout routines that can be performed at home that lack of gym equipment cannot be your excuse to skip workouts! This is a great home cardio circuit workout that is a full body challenge with 1000 total reps. The goal is to take as few breaks as possible, but if you are just starting out, rest as you feel needed or decrease the reps to 25 for each exercise. Many of these exercises can be modified or substituted for another exercise if you are unable to perform. Time how long it takes to complete this workout then perform it again in a few weeks and compare your times. This is a great method to show your progress and keep you motivated.

Perform 50 reps of the following

• Burpees – These can always be modified by taking out the push up and the jump
• Plank, touch opposite toe – in the plank on hands position (with elbows extended), rotate to touch your right hand to your left toe. Alternate sides and perform 50 total. Perform this slow and controlled so you can really focus on using your core to stabilize you.
• Elevated mountain climbers – perform as you would normal mountain climbers but with your feet on a box (or couch), trying to bring your knee to your elbow.
• Push ups
• Box jumps – can substitute step ups instead (I would perform 50 each leg)
• Squats – With either light or no weight

Finish with 500 reps on a jump rope, or high knees if you do not have a jump rope at home.

Time yourself the first time you perform this workout then repeat it in a month (after consistent exercising) to see how much you’ve improved!
