30-Minute Full-Body AMRAP Workout From Danielle Pascente
This 30-Minute AMRAP Workout May "Feel Like an Eternity," but in a Good Way!
When you only have a half an hour to get in an awesome workout, try this six-move AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) workout. Personal trainer and fitness model Danielle Pascente, who you may recognise from POPSUGAR Fitness Instagram Live workouts, crafted this intense workout to target your entire body.
This is a mostly bodyweight workout, but you will need a sturdy bench, stool, or coffee table and one dumbbell. For the second move, the bench hop over, if you don't have a bench, just do it on the floor in a plank position. For the third exercise, the lunge hold with an overhead press, if you don't have a dumbbell, use a soup can or water bottle. This is a 30-minute workout, which may not seem super long, but Pascente said, "for an AMRAP [workout, it] genuinely feels like an eternity," but you'll feel so pumped and proud when you're done!
