Ashlee Simpson's 30 minute complete toning workout

Last summer in Shape Magazine Ashlee Simpson described the thirty minute workout that she uses. It was designed by Mike Alexander, owner of MADfit, a private training studio in Beverly Hills. Although it's old news, many of you may have missed it or forgotten.

"Her backyard has about 30 to 40 steps, so I have her jog down, do lunges for the length of the pool, jog back up the stairs, then do a set of squats," he explains." This allows her to become used to a routine that is versatile enough to be replicated wherever her career brings her.

When at home she follows this routine:

0-5 Walk, gradually increasing
to a jog to warm up.
5-10 TRI-SET #1
Biceps curls (20 reps)
Squats (25 reps)
Jumping jacks (45 seconds)
Repeat tri-set once.
10-15 TRI-SET #2
Triceps extensions with bridge (20 reps)
Walking lunges (12 per leg)
Jump rope (45 seconds)
Repeat tri-set once.
15-20 TRI-SET #3
Squats with shoulder raise (20 reps)
Step-ups onto a bench (20 reps per leg)
High-knee jog in place (45 seconds)
Repeat tri-set once.
20-25 TRI-SET #4
Reverse crunches (10 to 15 reps)
Calf raises (20 reps)
Plank pose (hold for 30 seconds)
Repeat tri-set once.
25-30 Jog, slowly decreasing speed to a walk to cool down.
