We love celeb trainer Jeanette Jenkins's quick, effective Instagram workout routines [3], and her latest is no exception: a total-body burner that uses only a park bench as equipment. You can do this workout on a sturdy outdoor bench, like Jeanette shows, or as a quick circuit in the gym using an exercise bench. Either way, the fast pace of the moves combines strength with cardio for a great all-over workout.
Jeanette Jenkins's Full-Body Bench Workout
Directions: Start with a dynamic warmup like this one [4]. Then move into the workout, doing as many reps as you can of each move for 30-45 seconds. When you finish the last exercise, repeat the full circuit for two to three complete rounds. Once you're done, don't forget loosen up with a stretching routine [5].
- Squat [6] to bench or squat jump [7]
- Push-up [8] to side plank [9]
- Lunge [10] with rotation
- 4 bench high knees [11] to 2 jumping jacks [12]
- Bench mountain climbers [13]
- Fast step-ups with knee drive [14]
- Ab tuck to V-hold
If you want more of where that came from (we're gasping for breath just watching!), check out Jeanette's quick total-body workout with weights [15] or her 45-minute workout video [16] to burn calories and blast your abs. Bonus: you can also grab a couple of the lunches Jeanette eats to keep her fuelled [17] all day long.
