20 Minute Body Weight Workout



Try this no nonsense 20 minute body weight workout. It works your entire body - chest, glutes, legs, core, arms. 

Do each exercise for the allotted amount of reps and then move onto the next move. Try to get through it as many times as you can before the timer goes off! Challenge yourself each time that you go through it.

Kick and Lunge


Kick leg forward at 90 degrees then step back and lunge. Be sure that you keep your core tight for balance.


Inch worm push ups


Start in standing position then bend forward walking your hands out into plank. Push up once in plank. Then walk your hands back to your feet and stand up. Squeeze your glutes at the top for some extra booty work.


Squat jumps 


Go deep into a squat position then push off your feet into the air. This move is sure to keep your heart rate up the entire workout. 

No matter how many times I incorporate squat jumps into my weekly workouts, they still are so hard!

I love this workout because all you need is yourself, you can do it anywhere! I really do like working out with weights but all you really need sometimes is your own weight! If the weight is too heavy, then you can always modify (or be encouraged to make a change.)



Do you prefer working out with weights or body weight?

    This sounds like a perfect night full of lots of self pampering!! I am 50/50 when it comes to weights, I enjoy both weighted and body weight exercises!
