Build-a-Combo Bodyweight Workout (15 Mins)

I know most of you are OOO and enjoying the last unofficial day of summer, but I committed to publishing a new workout every Monday and I’m sticking to the plan damnit. This build-a-combo bodyweight workout will take you 15 minutes to complete and requires no equipment. If you like the structure, check out this combo workout using dumbbells as well.

Build-a-Combo Bodyweight Workout (15 Mins)

This workout is broken up into two-minute chunks of challenging work. During the two minutes, we’ll gradually build a combo of movements. Here’s the breakdown:

• First 20 seconds = Movement 1
• Next 40 seconds = Movement 1 + Movement 2
• Final 60 seconds = Movement 1 + Movement 2 + Movement 3

We’ll build three combos total and go through them twice. You rest for 30 seconds between each combo and at the halfway point, you get a full 60 seconds of recovery.

As with all workouts, make sure to warm up beforehand. I have a 5-minute warm up or you can do your own. Listen to your body and modify as needed, stopping altogether if something doesn’t feel right. A proper cool-down is important, too! Take some time to stretch after this workout.

Hope you’re all enjoying a long Labor Day weekend and ending Summer 2018 on a high note! I left the Vineyard last week, was briefly back in Boston, am now down on the Jersey Shore, will be back in Boston tomorrow, head to northern California Friday, then to Santa Barbara for work Tuesday, then to Michigan on Friday, then finally home in Boston Sunday for good for the first time since early July. How the HELL do travel bloggers live like this?? I’m unsettled. I’m scattered. I need clean clothes. I miss my bed. I’m worried my plants aren’t getting enough water. #Wanderlust is extremely overrated, people. (lol)
