20 Minutes and No Equipment

Yesterday and today I've felt, well, not-so-with-it.  After not working out on Monday (I know!) On Tuesday I did a pretty intense workout going three rounds of 10 exercises (using all sorts of equipment), working for 30 sec hard and resting 15 in between.  Today's workout, while shorter in duration, felt better, more intense, and I know you will like it's less complicated approach.
