Sandy, Sandy, Sandy




Due to Hurricane Sandy all public transportation has been shut down in NYC which means I’ll have to work out at home. I want to share my home workout with you. Maybe you will be inspired to try parts or all of my program. Try to mix in moves from my plan into what you are already doing to spice things up.

Quick burst of cardio to warm up
Treadmill (or play a few of your fav songs and dance around) for 7 min
4.2 for 2 min
