2013 has had some pretty great magazine workouts. Some of my favorites from this year so far are those that 1) do not need massive equipment 2) do not take more than 30 minutes, and 3) are super effective. These workouts have completely surprised me and are the ones that I still do almost a year later.
June 2012 Jump Rope Workout
This workout is over a year old, but that does not mean it has worn out it's use. the entire workout lasts about 30-minutes and will burn upwards of 250 calories! The best part is it will work your whole body and keeps things entertaining at the same time. Funny how jump rope routines are gaining in popularity right now... Seems this workout was a year ahead of it's time :)
Jennifer Love Hewitt's Workout
March 2013 had a silent killer in my review. This Jennifer Love Hewitt workout completely took me by surprise. It is simple, fun, and did some major damage to the fats around my thighs. Although I loved the workout while completing it, I did not realize how effective it was until the next day. This workout will definitely sneak-up on you in the muscle soreness category. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a great leg workout, wants a simple and low impact exercise routine, or just wants to mix things up. Jennifer Love Hewitt's workout seems to do all three!
Beach Body Part I
Out of all the Jillian Michaels workouts that I have done, this one is still at the top of my list. Sure, Yoga Meltdown, Six Pack in Six Weeks, and Beach Body Part II and III are incredible, but this one takes the cake. The calorie burn for this workout is not too high, but the muscle strengthening is incredible. This workout will give your arms, legs, bum, and abs a full, sleep the pain away, workout! Enjoy the post-workout pride that goes along with completing this insane Jillian Michaels sweat session!
