A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That – Print Workout Here
This workout may look easy, but it gets you! These 3 exercises are designed to keep you in fat-burning mode for a full 18 minutes, plus up to 48 hours afterwards! It’s just like going for an 18 minute run, so you’re working the cardio hard, but also getting all the fat-blasting strength building in there too. Like always, although I used a 12lb ugi ball, you’re able to use dumbbell, or whatever you have handy that could act as a weight.
Warm-Up
- 3 minutes of jump rope – the real deal or simulated. Just get the body warm and be sure to involve the shoulders.
Workout – 50/10
- Walking lunges forward and back with weight above head – Complete two walking lunges forward, step your feet together, and then complete two walking lunges back. Get as low as you can with each lunge, while you also hold a weight straight above your head. Biceps must stay beside the ears! Do not let the weight come behind your head, because this will arch your back and put pressure on your lower back. Same thing with going forward with the weight. Straight up is best!
- Travelling jump squat forward and back with shoulder press – Do two little squat jumps forward (not explosive jumps) and then two little squat jumps backwards. After each jump, complete a little shoulder press up and out, like you’re about to shoot a basketball.
Modification – Skip the jumps and do squat walks forward if you need to be gentle on your knees. - Travelling laterally side to side with around the world arms – Starting with your feet together, step over to the left twice, while simultaneously doing circles to the left with your arms; which we’re calling ‘around the world arms’. When you change directions and move to the right twice, do the ‘around the world arms’ in the right direction. These around the worlds are meant to work your shoulders, biceps and abs. Work hard, and throw a little bounce into your step!
**Complete these 3 exercises for a total of 5 sets without any breaks.
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching
Get sweaty and feel sexy!

Just finished workout #3 with a 10 lb medicine ball. My favorite was the squat jump and overhead press! My girls participated too. They got excited whenever they saw panthera!

Awesome!!! Good for you Allison. So happy to hear you’re back at it again. Your 10lb dumbbell is just like the 10lb Ugi! I think that’s so cute that your girls got a kick out of Pantera – she makes an appearance almost every week! LOL
Just did this with my new 10lb Ugi! Won’t lie…did two sets with a pillow instead but it was awesome. ;) Thanks!
Yay new Ugi ball!! Awesome stuff Wendy. It won’t take you long before you’re doing the workouts without the pillow! LOL Love the modification.
My house is so hot that I had to stop this halfway through to set up a fan and then finish! Time to hit the shower! Thanks for a great one this morning!
Oh man I can imagine! Good thing you got it done early on!!
My arms and shoulders are screaming! Love it! Thank you!

Started with a ten pound ball and had to move to a 7 lb dumbbell. That one was harder than it looked!
That’s what I like to hear!! You didn’t stop, just kept going and pushing with a lighter weight. Good work Jen!
All done. Def sweaty!
