Pilates Full Body Blast
Admittedly I do not do enough full-body workouts. I love doing targeted workouts because I feel like I get results faster (even though that's not really true). But today I forced myself to do a little bit of everything and I ended up kicking my own ass with this pilates fusion-y workout and loving it.
High Knees:
Butt Kicks:
Full Squats:
Tricep Dip:
Shoulder Bridge:
Russian Twists:
Teaser:
Table Top Crunches:
Lunge Jumps:
Table Top Oblique Crunches (This video is of the bicycle crunch, but they are very similar in execution. The only difference is with the table top crunches, you do not alternate)
Ball Plank + Roll In (add in the pushup when you're in a full plank:

**The only one I couldn't find a proper video for was the oblique crunches. You'd perform this the same way you would the table top crunches, but instead of coming up to the middle, you'll come up and twist your elbow to the opposite knee. If you really want to make this a challenge, extend the other leg. So as you come up, twist your right elbow towards your left knee while straightening your right leg. It's like a Bicycle crunch, but one side at a time**
