So you donât have time to work out? Really? No time at all? Not even 5 minutes? Yes, Iâm here to tell you that even if you donât think you have time you can still get your workout in on any given day. Even if you only have 5 minutes between appointments.
Hereâs your excuse busters:
5 minute Power-Squat Blast: Time yourself for 5 minutes. See how many âproper formâ bodyweight squats you can do. My record currently stands at 215. I promise you, you will be sweating and breathing heavily (and your legs will be shaky) at the end if you really give it your all. Itâs not long, but itâs a workout. Trust me. Itâs a great lower body workout squished into 5 little minutes.
5 minute Power-Pushup Blast: Same thing!! Time yourself for 5 minutes and see how many proper form pushups you can do (preferably from your toes position). If you give it your all, youâve got an excellent upper body workout jammed into 5 minutes flat.
Now letâs suppose you can find 10 minutes in your day. Combine the two. Do the Pushup Blast first, then the Squat Blast. And 20 minutes? Can you find even 20 minutes between meetings or on your lunch break or right after the kids are down for their nap? Do the whole thing twice. Full body work out DONE. Slap hands and walk away. And you donât even need an equipment. Get on with your day and donât give me any excuses EVER again.
