3 Quick Workouts to do Right Now!

Want to know the number one excuse people give for why they don't exercise?

Surely you know what it is, or could probably guess... "I don't have time." In reality, we all have time.  And the difference between the people who find time to exercise and those who don't, usually lies within the priority setting jurisdiction.  However, I know that even the most dedicated gym goers sometimes are just spread so thin, that getting to the gym for an hour long sweat session is not feasible.  The good news is that you don't have to spend a large part of your day getting to the gym for a workout! You can do one of these 3 workouts practically anywhere, and in just 15 minutes! Sure, if you have a little bit more time, you can extend it, but we're not gonna push it. You said you don't have time, so we believe you (kinda).

Below, you will find workouts that you can do  the next time you're in a bind for time. Then you'll see how you can actually make progress on your fitness goals without having to squeeze a ton of time out of your day.

For each workout, there is a video and a list of exercises. Below that will be different formats you can do these workouts!


LEGS



-High knees
-Low squat jacks
-Reverse lunges
-Slide out side lunges
-Squat jumps


CORE


-Mountain climbers
-Scissor toe taps
-Flutter kicks
-Plank jacks
-Plank hold


FULL BODY





-Jump lunges
-Push ups
-Half burpees (no push up)
-Sit ups

Formatting your workout.  Each of these workouts can use any of the following formats, depending on how much time you have. Mix it up and challenge yourself! If you have 30 minutes, why not combine them?  The more you do, the more results you see!

1) 3 rounds of 1 min each exercise.
2) Round 1: 2 min each exercise. Round 2: 1 min each exercise.
3) 20 seconds of exercise, 10 seconds of rest. 4x per exercise (2 min per exercise)
4) Add on: Do 1 minute of the 1st exercise. Then 1 minute of the 1st exercise, followed by 1 min of 2nd exercise. So on...
5) Peel off. Do 20 reps of each exercise*, 18-16-14-----down to 2.


So now you have all you need to get a decent workout in, when you're short on time, equipment, or money for a gym membership! You don't need a fancy gym with fancy machines because the best machine you have is yourself!

Cheers!
