Life too hectic to get to the gym? I know it all too well, especially this time of year… Here in Alberta we have what feels like 2 months of summer for activities and 10 months of winter.  Here is a quick 12 minute at home workout for you that will target your shoulders and abs – no equipment required.  An easy and quick solution that you can fit in between all your summer activities.   Set your timers as follows -          6 exercises -          50 seconds INTENSE workout (give it all you got) -          10 second rest between exercise -          Repeat a total of two times.   HERE WE GO!   Exercise 1: Burpee with tuck jump Stand with feet together, squat down and touch the floor, shoot legs back into a plank position, jump back in, stand up and accelerate into a high tuck jump (knees to chest), repeat .     Exercise 2: Plank Tricep Touch Get in a high plank position, body in a straight line.
