QBG! (aka Quickie But Goodie)


I love exercising on a time crunch. Sometimes I do my best with limited time because I know there's no  time to slack off! I push myself to the limit for about 30-45 minutes with no breaks.

We actually should all be exercising this way. If you are spending hours at a time in the gym, you are waisting your time. Study after study has proven that HIIT is the best way to get the results you are looking for. HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. All the "at home" work outs I have posted where you are using nothing but your body weight or a ball is exactly this type of training. High intensity, fast, hard, with little to no breaks. I like to call my short and hard work outs - Quickie But Goodie, QBG!! Gotta make my own trade mark;-) 

This type of training can also been done at the gym with weights, Kettlebells, and/or cardio machines. Here is my awesome QBG work out I did yesterday, and boy am I sore. It's not quite HIIT because I had some rest periods, but all together it's pretty darn close because it was short, fast, and hard.

QBG
Stairmaster Intervals- 20 minutes
Deep Squats- 1x15 quick with minimal weight, 3x12 medium to heavy weight (rest about 30 seconds in between sets
SUPER SET THE NEXT TWO EXERCISES
Single Leg Lunge with Dumb Bells (front squat grip) 3x10 R/L 
Bench Leg Raises with Hip Thrust at top (this is an core exercise) 3x20
END with 50 Kettlebell swings moderate to heavy weight
Roll out on Foam Roller for 3 minutes and/or stretch

Enjoy!!
