Today I have 2 time-crunch workouts you can do anywhere – even if you’re traveling, don’t have access to equipment, or are short on time.
I’ve noticed that something happens when you miss a scheduled workout… Once that door gets opened, all your hard-won motivation can slip outside.
And next thing you know, you’re skipping another workout… and another. That’s one reason I always talk about the importance of sneaking in a quick workout instead of skipping your planned workouts when you’re short on time.
Making exercise a priority (even if you only have time for a 15-minute workout!) helps to KEEP it a priority.
Take your Pick:
Workout #1 – Quick Cardio Burst
Duration: 15 minutes
Warm-Up: 2 minutes of jumping jacks or high knees
Workout:
- 30 seconds of burpees
- 30 seconds of rest
- 30 seconds of mountain climbers
- 30 seconds of rest
- 30 seconds of skaters (side-to-side hops)
- 30 seconds of rest
Rest as needed and repeat 4 times
Workout 2: Total Body Strength
Duration: 20 minutes
Warm-Up:
- 1 minute of arm circles (30 seconds forward, 30 seconds backward)
- 30 seconds of squats
Workout:
- 40 seconds of push-ups (from knees or toes)
- 20 seconds of rest
- 40 seconds of squats
- 20 seconds of rest
- 40 seconds of tricep dips from a chair or sturdy bench
- 20 seconds of rest
- 40 seconds of alternating reverse lunges
- 40 seconds of rest
Rest as needed and repeat 4 times
Both (or either) of these workouts will get the job done!
Remember: It’s the little things that you do consistently that move the needle on your health and fitness!
Keep moving!
