20 Minute At Home Workout
Post by Olivia Martino, Personal Trainer and Co-Owner, Nourish Northwest
When planning fitness classes at Nourish Northwest, I like to develop routines for all fitness levels in such a way that clients don’t feel like they are in competition with each other. One of the best strategies to accomplish this is to use the AMRAP structure, or As Many Reps as Possible. This allows clients to work at their own pace for a set amount of time. If you are the type of person who like a competition this structure does allow you to compete with yourself by trying to beat the number of times you are able to make it through each set. For example, each of the below circuits should be done for 8 minutes. During that time you just keep cycling through the three exercises, completing 10 reps of each. The first time you do this, you might make it through each set of exercises 2 or 3 times. Remember that number and next time set your goal to make it 3 or 4. Completing all 3 of these circuits will take 24 minutes and will target all major muscle groups while also getting your heart rate up. Good luck!
