I want to know your full body workout routine is if you do one. Examples: full body circuit routine, full body-weight routines etc. These sound like they burn a lot of fat, which is what my main goal should be right now. There's also a workout where you do an exercise (jumping jacks etc.) for 30 seconds and rest 30 seconds or a minute, I cant remember. I'm all EARS!

    Did you girls start off doing this much? Or is this something you have worked up to? I would love to work out that much, as I enjoy it, but I don't think I would be able to get out of bed the next day, lol.

    Are you talking about Tabata workouts? You do a movement for 20 seconds, rest 10, then repeat. Usually for a total of 8 rounds, although you can modify that if you want . You can choose the same exercise or switch and do different ones for the 8 rounds. Those are tough, but effective. We do them at Crossfit sometimes. I just downloaded a tabata app to my phone so I can do them at home occasionally.

    I've started doing BodyRock (www.bodyrock.tv) and it's fabulous. I'm doing it MWF (usually 15-20 minutes, always intense intervals) and C25K Tues, Thurs, and Saturday. Sunday is an active rest day.

    I can't say enough good things about Bodyrock!!

    The full body routine mentioned earlier is a great one. The deadlifts and bench press alone will see you work almost all muscles.

    Failing that Tabata rounds of kettlebell swings. In the four minutes it takes you will get close to 100 swings in. Tabata when done right will have you struggling for breath and looking for a bucket. On its own, (Tabata traditionally done on a stationary bike), a great cardio workout. Combine with weights (like kettlebells or body weight exercises) a great all over work out. Watch your fitness level dramatically increase. (Please remember your warm ups, cool downs and stretches)

    Love the KB swings and tabata training in general but I use these as a finisher for after a full body resistance training workout. Metabolic finisher. Also, a KB swing is predominantly hammies, glutes & lower back if you are doing it right. Shouldn't really be too much upper body work as the KB is swung up from the power of the hips.

    Totally agree, a great way to drain the tank and turn those legs to jelly.
