Stay #Flexy without letting your summer vacation get in the way! Check out this 10 minute hotel room or anywhere workout! If you are on a beach try using the sand as your mat for a challenge!
Do these 5 exercises for 1 minute each and then repeat once for your 10 minute full body workout. Bring that flexy body to the beach and still feel great after you are away from us for a week or 2. ( Of course you could also repeat it 3 or 4 times to make me extra proud!)

1. Plank knees to chest with pushup
Come into a plank position on your hands and balls of the feet. From here pull your right knee into your chest and then your left. Do this 8 times alternating legs. Hold the plank after 8 and do 4 pushups. Keep repeating the pattern until the minute is up!
2. Shoulder Bridge
Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Legs are parallel. Make sure your knees are right on top of your ankles. Press into your heels and lift your hips off of the floor engaging your glutes and hamstrings. From here lower your hips until the almost touch the mat and then press them back up. Make sure to keep your ribs closed and abs engaged. For a challenge reach your fingertips to the ceiling taking the back of the arms off of the mate.
3. Single Leg Tricep Presses
Sit on the floor with your feet hip width distance apart and parallel. Place your hands on the floor behind you with your fingertips facing your seat. Press into your hands and lift your hips up off of the floor. From here press into your right heel and lift your left leg to a table top position, keep the hips even! Once you are in position bend the elbows straight back behind you without lowering your hips, repeat. Switch legs after 30 seconds.
4. Criss Cross Abs
Lying down on your back place your hands behind your head keeping the elbows wide. Bring the knees up to a table top position, with a 90degree angle at the hip and at the knee. From here take your left leg and extend it long out in front of you while rotating your torso towards the right table toped knee. Think shoulder to knee, keeping the elbows open wide rotating truly from your oblique muscles. Rotate to the other side extending the right leg long. Keep going alternating sides.
5. 2nd position Jump Squats
Start standing up tall with feet wider than hip width distance apart and the toes slightly turned out. From there bend your knees sending the hips back and not letting the knees pass the toes. Keep the chest lifted higher than your hips. Once you are at the bottom of your squat push off of your legs exploding into a jump. Land rolling through your feet toe, ball, heel, pulling the hips back and not letting the knees pass the toes. Keep it up for 1 minute 🙂
