Try This 20-minute Total Body Blast
Description
This 20-minute total body blast is a full-body workout for beginners. It trains all your large muscle groups.
The workout is based on the classic muscle-building system that relies on repetitions. Depending which muscles are being targeted, you’ll do between 12 and 15 repetitions of each exercise. Complete all exercises one after the other. Start with 12 beginner burpees, then 12 sumo air squats […]. If you need a short break between the different exercises, take it. Between each round (6 exercises) take a break of up to 2 minutes. Repeat the circuit 3 times.
Always make sure that your exercise is clean and controlled and keep your body under tension. If the beginner burpees are too easy for you, you can do basic burpees instead.
Warm up well before you start training! Have fun with our workout.
