Benefits

Your weight loss is more likely to be long term if you can make exercise part of your daily routine. Don’t overload yourself with expectations of long, in-depth workouts. Planning little workouts throughout your day, whenever you can find time, will ensure that you will always have enough time to get it done and that it will remain part of your life.

Comprehensive

For the best workout in a short time, you should focus on a comprehensive routine. In your quick workout, try to get your heart pumping and tone your muscles at the same time. Exercising large muscle groups, like your legs, can get your blood pumping. Focus also on your arms and abs, and work to tone your muscles even during this short time. Working your whole body at once is the ideal way to work out. Try a product like The Freestyler which uses elastic tubes that attach to all four of your limbs increasing the effeciency of your workout and promoting lean tone muscles.

How Long

Ideally, you will work out for 30 minutes per day for five days of the week. If you don’t have 30-minute chunks at any one time, break it down. Workout for 10 minutes, three times a day, in the morning, afternoon and evening. If you need to be even more flexible, split each of those into two so you will be working out for five minutes at six different times per day. If your schedule varies per day, you can mix it up. Work out six times one day and three times the next.

Multitask

If you can do two things at once, you can knock through your workout in no time. If you have lots of time on the phone, use that time to pace. If you are reading a book or have to listen to a lecture or webinar, hop on the treadmill at home or do lunges in the office. While waiting for the water to boil, do a quick five-minute yoga session. Or if you want to invest a little money, try the The Flex Mini, it’s FDA approved and uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation to work out your tush and upper thighs while you watch TV, fold laundry, or do just about anything!

Work It In

When you sit back and think about your day, you may discover lots of little moments of waiting. Turn those down moments into powerful workout times. While your child is at soccer practice or is playing at the park, put the book down and take a quick jog around the field. You can keep an eye on your child and get your workout in.
