I thought I’d post my workout this morning, since it’s a very typical example of the kind of workout I frequently do. Today I brought my boyfriend along with me, and he totally showed me up in the push-up department!

This is a full body workout that takes about an hour to do.

Peach’s Full-Body Morning Energizer Workout

1) 10 min elliptical, steadily building resistance/speed until you’re at a comfortably challenging pace. (You can run/cycle/step if you prefer.)

2) 1-3 mins jump rope. Go, go, go!

3) 10-20 pushups

Now repeat these three segments four times.

Finish with 5-10 minutes of your favorite ab exercises, and some nice gentle stretches.

Sometimes I mix this up by splitting the 10 mins on the elliptical between two cardio machines, such as the bicycle and the rower, for example. And if I have more time, I’ll add in an additional strength exercise, like squats, lunges, or dips.
