29 Minute Total Body Ball Sculpt


 
***Before starting any workout please read the disclaimer! It can be found by clicking here! Thank you!***


 
This is an easy total body workout. It is designed to be done in less than 30 minutes (29 to be exact!) including rest breaks and all you need is a pair of running shoes, a timer (I used my cell phone timer) and a small ball (I used an old soccer ball).

  • 5 minute run/fast walk
  • 20 second rest

You will then do each ball exercise 1 time through lasting for 20 seconds each with a 20 second break in between exercises.

  • Squats- Hold the ball in your hands with your arms extended out in front of you, squat down as low as you can keeping your back as straight as possible, your shoulders nice and low (they should not be up by your ears) Your knees should never go over your toes. Hold this for 20 seconds

  • 20 second rest
  • Plank- Get into plant position resting on your hands and place the ball under your right hand. Slowly roll the ball from your right hand to your left hand and then back to the right. Continue this for 20 seconds

  • 20 second rest
  • 5 minute run/fast walk
  • repeat ball circuit (this should take 7 minutes)
  • 5 min run/fast walk
 
This entire workout should take less than 30minutes and has a little bit of everything form abs to arms to legs and a little cardio thrown in. I often times will do this workout with my girls too. We go outside and I push them in our jogging stroller during the run, get them out and let them play during the rest and circuit, and back in during the runs. Its quick and everyone gets a little energy out.
