Fire It Up! Workout

fireitup
This is a great workout to really “fire up” your muscles and your metabolism. Why? Because you are doing high reps at a fast pace.Instructions: Do 2 minutes of each exercise in the set (ex. 2 minutes squat pulses + squat jump, then 2 minutes of squat/lunge combo). Then go back and do each for 1 minute and then for 30 seconds. Rest 1 minute in between each of the 3 sets.

2 minutes –> 1 minute –> 30 seconds 

*Use a medium to heavy set of dumbbells for these exercises.

Lower Body Set

  • 3 low squat pulses + 1 squat jump
  • Squat/Lunge Combo – alternate squat, reverse lunge right, squat, reverse lunge left.*
  • 10 side lunges (alternate r+l)* then 10 jump lunges
  • 10 Froggers (in a plank, jump feet to the outside of your hands then back to plank) + 10 Sumo Squats with upright rows

Upper Body Set

  • Weighted burpee with shoulder press at the end (hands are on weights during burpee)*
  • 4 bicep curls then do jack feet front and back (vs out to the side) for 4 counts (l,r,l,r)*
  • 4 pushups then 4 plank tucks (bring knee around outside of body to touch elbow)
  • 4 bent over rows with right arm then 4 tricep kickbacks (in same position), switch and repeat on left*

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
