If you’re a busy at work or if you’re a stay at home parent sometimes it’s hard to squeeze in a workout. The biggest reason for not working out is TIME. Here are some quick exercises you can do anywhere. Using these exercises together you could do 10 reps of each for a particular amount of time say 10, 15, 20 minutes. Remember time and equipment should not be an EXCUSE.
Burpees
Bend your knees to place your hands on the floor underneath your shoulders. Jump both feet behind you or step them back, into plan position. Quickly reverse the motion, then jump straight up and clap your hands overhead. That’s one rep.
Jump Squats
Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart, toes pointed slightly out. Keeping your chest upright and core tight bend your knees and sit your hips back, extending your arms straight in front of you at shoulder height. Press through your heels to jump as high as you can off the ground, swinging your arms behind you. That’s one rep. Land softly and immediately lower into your next squat. If you are a complete beginner take the jump out.
Push ups
Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the floor and extend your legs behind you. Your body should form a straight line from head to heels. Lower your body until your chest touches the floor, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Push back to start, fully extending your arms. That’s one rep. If you need to drop to your knees to perform a push up until you build up your strength.
Butterfly sit-ups
Lie faceup on the floor with a folded towel under your lower back, soles of your feet together knees open to the sides, and arms overhead on the floor. Brace your core and sit up, reaching your fingers toward or past your toes. Slowly return to start. That’s one rep.
