16 or 30 Minute Stacked Workout
Print Workout Here

You can do this workout in a quick 16 minutes (including your warm up) or you can add on 14 minutes at the end by doing the same exercises but backwards.  So instead of stacking from 2 exercises up to 5 on each set, you will be starting with 5 exercise, and eliminating one each set, down to 2.

What you will need:

  • Set of hand weights

Warm-Up:

  • 2 minutes simulated jump rope, burpees or whatever gets you warm!

Workout: We’re going to start with the first two exercises, and add one exercise on each set.

 

  • Backwards lunge with hammer curl + knee up, left – Hanging on to the weights, step back with your left leg into a lunge and complete a hammer curl. From here, you’re going step it back up and bring your knee in towards your chest for an abdominal contraction.
  • Backwards lunge with hammer curl + knee up, right Same as above on the opposite side.
  • Jumping jack + tuck jump – Follow each jumping jack with a tuck jump….which means you’re jumping both knees up to ‘tuck’ them into your chest in the air. Sounds fancy right?!  Give it a shot!
    Modification:  If you’re not a jumper or need a break, do two alternating knee lifts for the abdominal contraction instead.
  • Arnold press – With weights in each hand, bring the up so the weights are facing your face, and your elbows are just above your chest. This is your starting position.  From here, you’re going to turn the weights out and push them up above your head so the palms are now facing out.  Bring them back down and around to the same position.  Start again!
    NOTE:  you can stand with your feet square, or, you can take one leg in front to relieve the back pain, while also being able to put a little momentum into it.
  • Reverse fly’s – Nice to do in a seated position, but can be done standing up if you have a strong core. For this exercise, your chest will be facing the ground.  You will then be ‘flying’ the weights up towards the ceiling, palms facing behind you, so you’re lifting up with the back of your shoulders and upper back.  Please watch the video for this exercise demo.

Cool Down/Stretching

  • Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.

Make today badass,
