I have a super sweaty new workout for you to try this weekend or the next time you need something you can do at home.
As I’ve mentioned before when I work out on my own at home or at my Sacramento boot camp studio I like to keep my move count to 3-5 most of the time and do about 5 rounds instead of lots of moves and only 3 rounds. Nothing is a hard and fast rule but 8 out of 10 times that’s my go to pattern.
For this workout all you need is a low step. You can go as low as mine in the video (6”) or higher.
If I want to keep it pretty metabolic I use a short step and focus on being explosive.
If I’m wanting to sneak in a bit of strength work I’ll use an 18” box for all of it and add dumbbells to the second move (sometimes even a light weight on the first move too).
If you don’t have a step at all you can do all 3 moves from flat on the ground. No excuses. Just move!
I put full instructions under the video.
