Description

Minna Lessig, a former Ms. Fitness USA and N.P.C. National Fitness Champion, leads this 30-minute circuit-training workout, which alternates 2.5 minutes of aerobic exercise with 1.5 minutes of muscle training in six 4-minute circuits. You’ll keep your heart rate up and tone at the same time. The routine will appeal to exercisers who want to get the job done without dance or frills. The aerobic moves are athletic: scissor jumps, kicks, punches, and jumping jacks–nothing dancier than a grapevine. (No low-impact modifications are shown for the jumps.) The muscle intervals include controlled moves such as lunge variations, squats, plies, and push-ups. You don’t use weights, but you’ll fatigue at least the lower-body muscles though sheer repetition.An extra “targeted toning” section at the end adds 15 optional minutes of light weights, traditional floor work, and abs. One cautionary note: many of the exercises that could be done standing or in a lunge position are, instead, performed kneeling on one or both knees, making these exercises uncomfortable or impossible for older exercisers or those with knee problems.
