Some days, it's impossible to make it to the gym. I was having several of those days the other week, and needed something to counteract all the Reese's eggs I was eating.
I decided to come up with a quick head to toe workout. I tried it myself, and then tried it out on my students, and it.works. Like, big time works.
^(8) Burpees
^Hold the last burpee down in a plank, open up to side plank.
Hold side plank for 8 counts. (or seconds for non-dance people) :)
Take top arm and cross underneath, then take arm up to starting position. Do this (8) times.
^Drop top arm to this position. Do (8) tricep dips.
^Open back up to the opposite side plank and repeat 2A and 2B on opposite side.
^Repeat triceps dips (3A and 3B)
^Hop up to a squat position. Cross hand over to opposite foot while in squat, jump together, repeat opposite side. (8 times)
And then do the whole thing all over again!
So, in review:
*1a, 1b: 8 times
*2a, 2b: 8 times
*3a, 3b: 8 times
*2a, 2b (opposite side): 8 times
*3a, 3b: 8 times
*4a, 4b: 8 times
Repeat. And then again.
Have fun! (muah ha ha) Let me know if you have any questions.
PS. If you're just wanting a leg workout, you'll love this one!

This is so perfect! Sometimes getting to the gym is just not going to happen and this looks like a great alternative!
I heart you mucho. I so needed this on days where work is bananas and we have lots of after school activities going on. Pinning this!
loveee this! especially because i have not exercised since i've given birth 6 months ago! hahaha :)
This sounds like a great workout! I hate doing burpees, but they are so effective!
Yay! Yay! Another Ashley workout. I did your killer leg workout with my students and they were hating/loving it. Can't wait to try this one! :)
This is a great workout! You go girl!!
You forgot to say after the workout you get a large container of Chunky Monkey!!!!!!!!
You go girl!!! I need you to be my neighbor and whip my booty into shape...and give me some motivation!! I have been such a lazy bum lately! Boo!
Eight counts, haha, love that! I can not wait until I am medically cleared to work out!
I'm not going to lie, I don't think I've ever done a burpee before. But you sure look great doing this whole routine! :)
This looks like fun! I'll definitely try it out!
I need a workout routine and this one looks great. It has been a while since I've worked out. Lucky for me our apartment is on the 3rd floor and the laundry room on the 1st so that gives me a workout at least once a week lol.
This is prefect! I just did all these moves at the gym the other day in class and I know how great they work (my muscles are hating me right now!) Glad we can get out and enjoy a workout outside again, too;)
I know it's not the point of these blogs entries but you are SO cute in them. :)
This looks awesome! I love seeing little workout tips like these - thanks for sharing!
