Workout Wednesday: PBPs

Pushups, burpees, and planks.  Three exercises that I love to hate (or maybe it's hate to love?).  They're all really great exercises for a full body workout, and they're all customizable in so many different ways. 

They also absolutely kill me every time I do them.  I think that's why I keep going back for more.  So, what better way to get a great, quick workout then combine my three loves in one quick and sweaty workout. 


The great thing about this workout is it can be done anywhere - no weights or equipment required! - and it's totally customizable.  You could do each move  for 90 seconds straight before moving on to the next (as suggested) for a 27 minute workout.  Or, if you're pressed for time, do each move for just 60 seconds, for an 18 minute workout.  You'll still get your heart rate up and get some good core and arm work in.  And, if you want a longer workout, just extend the time or do two sets. 

If your arms start to get tired from all the pushups, feel free to drop to your knees for a few reps.  This will engage your core and lower body a bit less, but it's a good option if your form is suffering from fatigue.

Enjoy!
