Combining the best in cardio and strength to take your results further than you ever imagined.

Hey everyone! Summer is here and in full swing. I love summer – the days are long and hot, the pools are open, and there’s an abundance of activities always going on. It’s also a great time to slim down and tone up (beach season, am I right?!) So today I am stoked to introduce you today to the newest workout program here on Tone and Tighten … get into the best shape of your life this summer with our new 8-week “Summer Slim Down”! Starting today we’ll be bringing you new workouts every week to help you to look and feel amazing this season. You’ll get one strength routine and one cardio routine in each workout to help sculpt, firm, tone, and tighten those areas to get you to the beach and feel great about doing it. So “dive in” over the next 8 weeks as we slim down and tone up this summer!

Ready? Here goes…

Presented below are two workouts, one for cardio and one for strength. Alternate each workout (day one cardio; next day strength) as you do each workout 2-3 times this week (4-6 days of workout total).

We’ll have you beach ready in no time!

1. CARDIO WORKOUT

5 minute walk/jog to warm up

Running intervals
Get outside and run (really run – not just jog; park, backyard, sidewalk, etc) 200 feet (about 30 yards down and 30 yards back)

25 Jumping jacks

10 Burpees

10 Sit Ups

Feeling good? GREAT! Now repeat this series of 4 exercises 4 more times (5 total) or if you’re feeling aggressive – 9 more times (10 times total)

20 air squats

10 push ups

15 lunges (each leg)

Hi Jared, I wanted to thank you for all of your great workouts with no weights. I recently had 4 major surgeries this past fall, winter and spring.The last one was a hernia repair. I was told “No Heavy Lifting” so your workout programs fit me perfectly. Thanks again, you inspire me and many others like me.
