Happy Friday, friends! Another work-week has come and gone, but not without a Free Fitness Friday workout to kick-start the weekend! This full-body interval workout is perfect for a quick strength training session that is sure to get your heart-rate up, burn some serious calories, and burn off some work-week stress!
This week's Free Fitness Friday workout: Full-Body Resistance Training Intervals
To complete this workout, you will need a timer, 1 moderate-weight dumbbell (10-15 lbs), a resistance band, 1 light-weight plate (10-20 lbs), and a high box, bench, or step. Be sure to warm up for 3-5 minutes before beginning the workout and cool-down for 3-5 minutes after the workout!
Set your timer for 40 seconds of exercise ("on") with 20 seconds of rest ("off") and complete Round 1 and Round 2 twice (4 rounds total) for a quick and effective 20-minute workout.
