Here it is folks! I have designed a quick total body workout for each day of the week. I have had a lot of questions regarding what type of exercises to do at home with handweights, so this is what I came up with. This is a quick workout, and with that being said I recommend you to go through each movement with power and with as much energy as possible to burn the most calories. It is also important to use more than 2 pound handweights! (yes, I’m talking to you mom ;)) I have 12 and 15 pounders at home, which make it more challenging and way more affective.
Don’t have time to hit the gym? Looking for a quick workout to do with your handweights after an afternoon jog? Keep up with this routine each day of the week and you will see results! I am doing this also, and will keep you posted on what I am up to on my facebook page.
Are you more of an advanced fitness fanatic? Do this same workout with compound movements. I have tried to incorporate these as much as possible, but if you see that the movement calls for a leg exercise, add-on an arm movement and visa versa. An example of a compound exercise is a lunge with a bicep curl. These are my fav! It only makes sense to get the most out of the time you have, so hit as many muscle groups as possible.
{Sorry that the font is a little off, but its the content that counts!} Please let me know if you are unfamiliar with any of these movements and I will send you a picture. Also, I am thinking about doing an exercise a day on my facebook page to help some get a better idea of what correct form looks like. Pictures are sometimes better than words. Thoughts?
I hope this quick, living room workout, will jumpstart you on the fitness path that you desire! Best of luck to you and please let me know if you are keeping up and seeing results!

I say yes to daily exercises on your facebook page!! That would be amazing and so helpful to those who are new to the gym, like me! 🙂
Sounds good! Thank you for your feedback Brenna!
I am unfamiliar with a number of these exercises. Planks, glute kicks, pretty much all but lunges, push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks. I have always been naturally toned, but as I get older, I find I need to work to stay in shape. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
A motivating discussion is worth comment.
I believe that you should write more on this subject,
it might not be a taboo subject but generally people do not talk about these issues.
To the next! Many thanks!!
