Shape magazine 30 min express workout

[peekawho]

I've never gotten Shape magazine.  I picked it up on a whim yesterday.  Today, I played hookey from the gym, and felt so guilty after lunch that I tried a 30 minute workout they had in profiled.  Supposedly burns 300 cals, but I always take that with a grain of salt.
This did make me work up a sweat!
It went like this:

#1.  2 min, march in place
#2.  2 min jumping jacks
#3.  1 min speed skater (just like it sounds, pretend you're speed skating in place)
#4   2 min jump rope
#5   1 min crunches
#6   1 min jump rope
#7   5 min--repeat #3-#6
#8   1 min squats
#9   2 min jump rope
#10 1 min modified push ups
#11 2 min jump rope
#12 6 min--repeat #8-#11
#13 2 min jumping jacks
#14 2 min march in place

My kids just started back to school & I work full-time so this is the perfect workout for me.  30 mins. is about all the time I will have to even try and squeeze in a workout.  I'm going to give it a try today after work.  Thanks!

Let's see, I was able to do.....well, none of these! Lol

I believe that you would be able to burn 300 calories in this 30 minute routine.

Jump roping is great exercise.
