8 Minute Workout: PUSH YOURSELF

If you don't think you have any time to workout consider this 8 minute workout from Women's Health Magazine. As with any workout the goal is to do as many repetitions as you can in the time allowed but with good form. Doing an exercise the wrong way can not have as effective an effect on your muscles and can even cause injury. For proper techniques, take the time to look up any of the moves below on youtube so that you can have a visual guide as to what to do and more importantly, what not to do.
So, try these 8 exercises for 50 seconds each. Give yourself a quick 10 second rest and move onto the next one. The goal is to push yourself, challenge and confuse your muscles, and get it done in a shorter amount of time. It's only 8 minutes and when it is done, you will be glad that you did it!
Pick a date and a time and make it happen.
