Cardio and Ab Do It Anywhere Circuit

Alright guys, time to talk fitness! The weather here in New York has been FREEEEEZING these last few days but it has not stopped me from getting my workouts in! There are tons of excuses we can make to get out of working out but at the end of the day we are only cheating ourselves.

It doesn't matter if you haven't worked out in a week, a month, or a year. There is no better day to start up again than today. Today is a new day, a clean start and another opportunity to take control of your life. So get up and get that blood flowing! Take one day at a time. Believe in yourself and know that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to. Your body will achieve what your mind believes! Think positive, tell yourself you can, and most importantly don't give up. Each day, each workout, each time you push yourself you are one step closer to your goals. Stay motivated and push through any obstacles in your way and know that it is always worth it.


That being said, here is a cardio and ab workout I designed for you that you can do anywhere at any time, no equipment needed! (inspired by being snowed in last week) Oh and did I mention it only takes 15 minutes?! Talk about a bonnuuuuus!
