Short on time?? Interval training is the answer!

Interval training (circuit training) is a great way to accomplish cardio and weight training at the same time. Interval training requires burst of high intensity activity (increasing the heart rate) with short recovery periods (heart rate never comes to a full resting rate).

This type of exercise can burn much more fat and calories than a leisure workout twice as long.

7. 1 set shoulders (seated yoga ball shoulder press)
8. 10 jumping jacks
9. 1 set Biceps (seated yoga ball on bicep curls)

13. 1 set legs (squat with yoga ball between back and wall)
