Total Body Strength and Cardio Workout

Challenge your muscles and get your heart rate up with this efficient Total Body Strength and Cardio Workout! This exercise routine is a great way to get in and out of the gym in about 30 minutes…and it will have you sweating in no time!

Hey, friends! If you read my regular Weekend Recap posts, or if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, then you have probably seen some snippets from my recent workouts at the gym. Well today is your lucky day!!! ? I have collaborated with Mark, the owner and personal trainer at Anytime Fitness here in Madison, to bring you a series of workouts that you can try on your own. These are the actual workouts that I do with Mark, and they are guaranteed to get you FIT. It’s like having a personal trainer…from the comfort of your computer screen!

Trust me: Mark doesn’t mess around! He knows how to put us through a challenging workout without wasting too much time at the gym. After all, Mark and his wife Amy have two young boys, own their own business, and can completely relate to the challenges of juggling it all. His training sessions are never more than 30 minutes and he uses props (like resistance bands), a variety of weights, and modifications to make them accessible to just about any fitness level. Best of all, we’re accomplishing both cardio and strength training in one complete session by using exercises that get the heart rate UP. As Mark says, there’s no need to spend hours logging miles on a treadmill when you’re working out like this!

So whether you live in Madison or not, you can now train like we do! Just grab a spouse, a friend, or try it solo…this is a workout that you don’t want to skip!
