In light of post yesterday Keeping Healthy On Holiday, my brother told me to share the workout I did at 5am in his student house lounge room! (This was before cleaning their entire kitchen and lounge - big sister duties.)
Despite being in a house full of gym junkie, protein munching males, I had to make the best with what I had - a 1.5m by 2m area of lounge room floor, a dining chair, a whiteboard and myself.
So, as I mentioned in my previous post, this is a slightly Kayla-esq workout, which I put together on the spot and wrote out on the whiteboard. Basically I was looking to start puffing, sweating and getting the blood pumping. Just over half an hour (I had a lot of time to kill) with minimum rest between rounds. The only equipment necessary is your own body (trainers not applicable) and a chair/stool/step that will take your body weight.
Round 1 (R1)
40 Ab Bikes (20 each side)
10 Burpees
15 Straight Leg Sit Ups
50 Mountain Climbers (25 each leg)
30 High Knees (15 each leg, stable foot on chair)

Round 2 (R2)
15 Sumo Squats (with weights if you have them)
15 Push Ups
30 Lunges (15 each leg)
20 Snap Jumps / Froggies
40 Flutter Kicks

Set a timer to 8 minutes and perform each series of exercises as many times as possible in the 8 minutes. I recommend doing R1, then R2, then R1 and R2 again for 8 minutes each, with minimum rest in between rounds (30 seconds to a minute). Remember, the goal is to sweat and burn calories! So work through the exercises properly but efficiently, I could get through each round at least twice in the 8 minutes.
This workout doesn't have to be restricted to holidays, it can be done almost any where. Happy sweating!
