My Favorite 45 Minute Workout

40:10 “Finisher” Sets
(work for 40 seconds, rest for 10; Do each set 2x before you move on to the next set. Total work time: 40 min.)

Equipment:
GYMBOSS INTERVAL TIMER
DUMBBELLS: 12-15 lbs (2) "DB"
KETTLEBELL: 50+ lbs (1) "KB"
BODY BAR: 18 lbs+ (1)
MINI-BAND: green or blue
JC BAND: orange or yellow
PHYSIO BALL (exercise ball)
BOSU (balance trainer)

*For my local friends: Wareing's Gym has all the equipment you'll need. I like to set up my own little "station" in a corner of the fitness room. Gyms in other cities should have all the equipment listed above as well. If you buy everything on your own for your home, it can get expensive. But keep in mind that all the exercises below can be modified (use dumbbells instead of a kettlebell, for example).

*Modify weight to suit your own needs. Don't use your max weight b/c you'll be doing a bunch of reps in 40 seconds, fast-paced. But it shouldn't be easy either- challenge yourself.
