Well easy in that isn’t complicated. This home workout just has four exercises, done three times through. Just a 12 minute one!

Don’t worry – I did the one I’ll post tomorrow today, and it’s twice as long and whoa whoa whoa. This is just a breather. But, this home workout will target the whole body, and you’ll probably especially feel it in the inner thighs if you do the ab exercise with a ball.

Here goes!

12 rounds – 10 seconds res, 50 seconds on

4 exercises, 3 times through

Mountain climbers 88/ 86 / 90

Pushups 18 / 20 / 15

Squats 20 / 20 / 20 (I did mine with a sandbag)

Ab ball exercise 11 / 9 / 11

Mountain climbers

In plank, put one leg toward your chest. Switch leg positions. Each switch is one rep. Get your heart rate up!

Pushups

Mod as needed, knees down, or not as low to the ground

Squats

I did mine with a sandbag, you can do your with our without a weight, no worries. Just squat down like you are going to sit on a chair, keeping your knees from going over your toes!

Ab ball exercise

With a weighted ball or stability ball, grab it between your legs (this is where you’ll feel it the next day) and meet with your hands, bringing the ball back over your head. Each time the ball strikes the ground is one rep. If you don’t have a ball, just do v-ups – Lifting your legs and upper body up towards each other.

Disclaimer – be careful, do at your own risk, am not an expert, ask your doctor. Have fun!
