Summer is coming. Even though some of you are still digging out from a monster snow storm in New England, it’s true.  For some of us, it will be here sooner than for others 🙂  And that means a lot of us will be trying to look and feel our best in time for all the days we’ll spend at the pool, beach, or just hanging out outside with friends and family.  I’m a big proponent of eating right and exercising all year long because it’s about feeling good and being healthy…but the winter and holidays can be tough with the short days and abundance of treats hanging around.

Anywhooooo, in honor of summer coming, I’ve got a kick-your-butt kind of workout in store for you.  This month’s Workout Wednesday is brought to you by my friend Emily, who is a total beast and probably was trying to kill us all with this cross training workout 😉 You can check her out on Instagram @emilymariet (hint: she posts lots of workouts like this in her stories).

Pro tip – Get yourself a HIIT timer app on your phone to make it easier to do the timed rounds.  I use Seconds Pro and just set it up for a HIIT timer with 4 rounds of 1 min / 45 sec / 30 sec with 5 seconds rest for transition time.

The Good:

  • This workout will have you feeling the burn! I love combining my cardio with strength training a couple times a week.
  • This workout is great because you can do it with dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells – it’s really flexible.
  • It’s also easy to scale this one to your abilities – it will still burn, but you can add or subtract weight to change up the intensity.

The Bad:

  • You definitely don’t want to go too heavy with the weights here – those 1 minute rounds will have you wishing you didn’t.  Just make sure to keep good form even when it gets challenging!
  • Reference the first bullet under “the good.”

Time Needed: Approx. 45 minutes

Equipment needed:

  • Dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells.
  • Floor mat

Can’t Hold Us

3 rounds of 1 minute / 45 seconds / 30 seconds each:

  • Goblet squat
  • Overhead tricep extensions
  • Mountain climbers
  • Russian twists (with or without weight)

3 rounds of 1 minute / 45 seconds / 30 seconds each:

  • Deadlift
  • Strict press
  • Plank holds
  • Bicep curls

4 supersets of 25 / 20 / 15 / 10 reps:

  • Push ups
  • Squat jumps
  • 2-count flutter kicks
  • Lunges

Bonus cardio round:

  • 20 min HIIT stationary bike or elliptical (alternate 20 sec high resistance/sprint pace with resting pace)
