Breaking a Sweat

Sometimes I can't make a class and I just don't feel like a mindless run on the treadmill.  Here are a few I've been really into lately and I'm usually drenched in sweat when I'm done!

Treadmill Pyramid Interval Run: 

Quick Cardio Circuit:

• 50 jumping jacks
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 20 alternating lunges
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 20 squats with 15 lb. dumbbell
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 60 sec. high knees
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 10 burpees (I hate these!)
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 60 jumping jacks
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 20 sec. mountain climbers
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 25 push ups (girly style)
• 30 sec. jump rope
• 60 sec. plank
• 50 jumping jacks

I go through this circuit after a nice cardio warm-up on a treadmill/elliptical.  It's a doozy so I make it through at least 2 times and maybe a third if I'm feeling feisty!
