The No-Makeup-Required Workout

I'm not one to "make myself up" for a workout, so it's kind of surprising that every workout routine I've shown you so far has had photos of me wearing makeup. I'm a workout-first-thing-in-the-morning kind of person, so normally I roll out of bed, throw on some spandex, pack my gym bag and head out the door—no makeup needed. I mean, who's at the gym or out for a run at 6:00 am anyway?

So today, that's what you get—a no-fuss, no-makeup-required workout routine. Do it at home or do it at the gym—but the most important thing—just do it!

The NO-MAKEUP-REQUIRED WORKOUT:

1. Plank rows: Beginning in plank position, squeeze your core and back muscles and lift the kettlebell to chest-level, keeping your arm close to your body.
• Targets: back, core
2. Narrow-stance squat: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keeping the weight of your body over your feet, slowly lower your body down into a squat. If you use weight with this exercise, rest it on the front of your shoulders.
• Targets: quads
3. Bicep curls: Flex your bicep and lift the kettlebell. Make sure your elbow stays close to your body and doesn't move when you lift the weight.
• Targets: biceps
4. Side plank with a leg raise: While holding a side plank, lift your leg up and down, squeezing your butt.
• Targets: core, obliques, glutes, hip flexors

Try doing 20 reps of each of these or do all the exercises for 1-minute and repeat the set 5-times. This is definitely a full-body workout, because you're working your upper body, lower body, and core!

I hope you get a chance to fit this into your weekend workout, or give it a shot next week—and don't forget—no makeup required!
