Jun 25 2018 - 3:00pm

New to the gym? Just need a new game plan? This combo sweat sesh will guide you through two parts: strength training and an elliptical session. One machine, 35 minutes, and a whole lot of sweat. Here's how it works:

Part One: Bodyweight Circuit. Four moves, one minute each, repeated three times for a total of 12 minutes. No equipment required.

Part Two: Elliptical. 20-minute elliptical workout (with a three-minute cooldown!) to finish off your gym session.

As mentioned, the cooldown is included [1] in the elliptical portion of this workout — just make sure to stretch at the very end!

Single-Leg Touch and Hop

Arm Circle Planks

Single-Leg Bridge

Repeat the circuit three times, for a total of four rounds. Move to the elliptical workout once that is complete.

Elliptical: 20 Minutes + 3-Minute Cooldown
