Get Fit: The 100 Workout

Memorial Day is just around the corner, which means that summertime is on its way. Bathing suit season is almost here. If you, like me, have been putting off getting in shape and are now starting to panic about looking good in your bikini, you might want to give The 100 Workout a try.

The 100 Workout is a fast, all-encompassing workout that any girl can do, at any time of day, and from the comfort of  her own home. What makes The 100 Workout so appealing is the short amount of time it takes to exercise the whole body (glutes, quads, thighs, core, and hamstrings) as well as the convenience of not having to go to the gym.

Thinking of giving the workout a try? Here’s how you do it:

  • 100 jumping jacks
  • 90 crunches
  • 80 squats
  • 70 leg lifts
  • 60 jumping jacks
  • 50 crunches
  • 40 squats
  • 30 leg lifts
  • 20 jumping jacks
  • 10 minutes of running

That’s it! For those of you not used to exercising on a regular basis, I suggest working on one step at a time and adding a step when you think you’re ready. I’ve been doing this workout for a few days now, and I’m sore all over, so it must be working. If you’re looking for an easy way to tone up this summer, I recommend The 100 Workout.

    I tried this the day that I read it. Now it’s the day after, and I’m super sore! It’s a lot more difficult than it looks, but it keeps you going one step after the next. The numbers really push me to keep going, since I know that the next step has less repetitions. Thanks so much for posting this!

    Soo..I have just graduated and will need to get fit for college in the fall just like Tatianna and ..I’m thinking of trying this. I’m lazy, and so it might take some self-motivation, but I think I got this! Lol. I’m athletic, so that should help :)
    Thank yall!

    A good thing to do is also add light weights, or incorporating squat jumps once the workouts seems to become not as challenging! But this is a great plan for jump starting an exercise regimen!

    bmmorgan, how do you do the “leg lifts” part?

    and do you do it all at once?
    how much time do you rest inbetween?

    ~*NEED HELP*~!!!!!

    Laura,

    Here’s a how-to video for the leg lifts–it’s pretty simple: http://www.howcast.com/videos/117142-How-To-Do-Leg-Lifts

    It’s best to do it all at once, but if you’re like me (and out of shape), you can rest for a minute between each exercise.

    I know it seems like a lot of work, but it’ll get easier the more you do it. And it will be sooooo worth it in the end!

    Hope this helps. :)

    Okay, I’m totally going to try this, but maybe without the jumping jacks. They make me feel awkward. xDD So, bmmorgan, do you also have a diet we can try along with this workout programm prepared? :D
    If yes, then pleeasee. Give it to us.

    Ema,

    Well, I know the jumping jacks are rough, but they’re cardio, so they’ll help you burn calories. If you feel awkward doing them out in the open, try them in your room or when no one else is around.

    Also, I don’t have a diet, per se, but I do have some nutrition tips I can do a separate post on if you’re interested. :)

    Well, I’m doing them all in my room, but I don’t know…It just feels awkward. I don’t have this kind of problem anytime, I don’t know what’s happening to me. :|
    Oh yeah, please do that separate post. I like…need it to survive. xD

    Btw. Just tried it last evening, and now, in the morning, I can’t even move my legs anymore. They’re trembling. :|

    I will definitely do the nutrition post, then. Be on the lookout for it!

    Great work out! :D
    I do have a question though, and yes, I know it might sound ridiculous.
    10 minutes of running… I don’t have access to running. I’m still living at home, and my mom won’t let me run outside, no matter if it’s my neighbor’s driveway to our own. She’s paranoid that someone is going to steal me. Any suggestions I can fill in the 10 minutes of running? Running in place, I know… But it gets a little boring…

    whenitthunders,

    Another good way to get in some cardio besides running is to jump rope for 10 minutes. If you don’t have a jump rope or can’t afford to get one, turn on your favorite songs and dance like a fool instead. Good luck! :)

    hey, this is great! i’ll do this when i work out in a few minutes. when i exercise, i always try to do some practical toning workouts, like this, combined with more intense weight-lifting and combinations of kicks and punches, because i like to be prepared for scary situations. :]
    but this will probably work way better for the first half of my routine, insetad of just doing a bunch of random sit-ups and push-ups, haha. thank you!

    I heard about this a couple of week s ago and tried doing half of the numbers but each round if that makes any sense and it wasn’t to bad and then I started running a lot so I stopped doing this. Today my body is tired from running, so I’m going to get back to this one and see if I can do all of them!!

    This is my favorite ‘travel’ workout because there’s no special equipment, etc. needed for it.

    I always come back from vacation looking a little better than when I left, which is always fantastic:)

    Just tried this for the first time!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend suggested it to me, it’s AWESOME. Crazy workout to get me out of my rut, I Hope to do it tomorrow. Lately only been getting 1 day in the week to work out (laziness and other excuses) but I’m trying to get back on my daily workout grind. This is challenging enough to keep me interested! And yea, how many calories does this typically burn? (I know it’s different depending on weight etc) But I’m overweight, out of shape, need to get in shape, lose weight, and this time keep it off!

    It is a great workout, but I would like to point out that there are no upper body exercises. You might try throwing in some push ups or something. Doing the workout with 3 pound weights would also help to hit that area.

    I do this as one of my more moderate level workouts (keeping in mind I’m very active). It’s a nice quickie for days I have to squeeze in my workout. I don’t have to go through the hassle of learning a new routine, this one is so easily memorized, and doesn’t require any equitment so I can literally do it anywhere. I did it this weekend on the beach which was much more challenging and fun!
