There's no excuse for not working out. Don't feel like going to the gym? Short on time? Then get in a 10-15 minute workout at home! This doesn't mean you should neglect the heavy weights, but if you can't make it to the gym, that's no excuse not to get a workout in.
There are so many things you can do with just your own bodyweight. Here are some fun ideas I came up with off the top of my head.
50 seconds: Jump rope or jumping jacks
40 seconds: Burpees
30 seconds: Mountain climbers
20 seconds: Pushups
10 seconds: Squat jumps
40 alternating reverse lunges
20 burpees with pushup
Repeat 3-5x, or do as many rounds as you can get in 10-15 minutes
21-15-9 (21 reps of each the first round, then 15 reps of each, then 9 reps):
Pushups
Squat Jumps
Burpees
40 mountain climbers each leg
20 reverse lunges, 1 leg at a time

Lindsay, I hate every one of those exercises. LOL But they are quite a workout. No excuses.
ReplyDeleteI did a bodyweight routine yesterday and it kicked my booty.
You look great, by the way! Do you (or did you) follow any routines like NROLW or BFL?
Yeah, the ones you hate are usually the best ones to do!! I mean, who loves burpees, right? But they're one of the most effective exercises! Bodyweight workouts can definitely be killer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. I don't know what those routines are...so I guess I have never done them! ;)
