30 min workout Week 1- Featured on Fox GoodDay Philadlphia


So as the holidays approach I was asked the question " How can we avoid the traditional holiday weight gain?"
Below is a 30 min workout if done 2-3 days per week that help ward off those unwanted pounds.
Just 30 min  of physical activity will help you maintain and/ or improve your overall fitness.
For the next 8 Mondays of 2014  I will post a 30min workout that can be done in home with minimal equipment to help you stay at your best.Each workout will contain a  6 Part focus:
-Cardio
-Lower Body 
-Upperbody
-Abs
-Flexibility
Also a Nutrition focus.

Each section is 4 rounds (1 minute of work and 30 seconds rest) ( 6 min per section ) This means your working intervals should be intense as possible and try to only rest on the rest interval. You can download a round timer app on your tablet or smartphone to keep track.If no round timer do 4 sets of (15reps-beginner to 30 reps Advanced )
