1. This routine was designed for people who only have 30 minutes or so to work out and don’t have a lot of equipment lying around. Use your body weight and just a few common household items to create an intense, fat-burning workout that will leave you exhausted!
2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold your arms out to your sides with your palms facing down.
3. Keeping your body steady, lift your right foot off the floor and slowly bring it toward your glutes (butt muscles). Let your knee bend as your foot approaches its highest point. Pause, then slowly return your foot to the floor. Do this 8-times with your right leg and then immediately repeat the same exercise with your left leg.
4. Perform all repetitions with slow controlled motions. Really concentrate on keeping your form correct. Don’t worry about speed. Just do one set of 12 with perfect form and then move on to the next exercise.
5. Lower your body back to the starting position and take a 60 second break. Repeat this cycle of lifting, returning to the starting position and taking a break a total of eight times.
6. Rest for two more minutes and then repeat steps 1-4 with your other leg. That’s one full circuit. Go ahead and try this workout out right now. It only takes about 20-minutes and you can do it anywhere. You’ll find it very difficult to keep your body perfectly still for the entire routine but that’s what makes this workout so effective. By focusing on form instead of speed, you’ll get a much more intense workout.
