Run Jen Run's Beach Body Workouts

Background: My friend Kelly was abroad this spring and asked me what she could do to get ready for a Cape Cod summer in bikinis.  She did not have access to a gym or any equipment so I put together two quick workouts with a few exercises targeting all our major muscle groups that she could do virtually anywhere.  Summer may be here but it's not too late to get fit!
