Issue 27: Your lunchtime body-weight workout
Hey, FTWer!
What’s your biggest barrier to working out regularly?
If your answer is finding the time, you are so far from alone, you’d need to download Google Galaxy to find it.
By which I mean, don’t worry. There’s always a work-around. For example, on those weeks when you know the gym (or your workout haven of choice) is a far-off dream, how about a quick body weight workout? I’m talking one that requires
Fewer than 15 minutes,
A total of 0 pieces of equipment,
A space the size of the sound-proofed phone call room in your office (or an itty bitty studio apartment).
Wouldn’t it be rude if that wasn’t actually what I had for you today?
Don’t worry, it totally is.
It’ll take you about 12 minutes to do this routine. And you don’t even have to get down on the ground if you don’t want to (or can’t, for skirt- or suit pant-related reasons).
Here’s the process:
Do the indicated number of repetitions (reps) for each exercise. Then do it again. And one more time. That’s three sets. Hopefully, you’ll feel re-energized, re-focused, and maybe even a little tingly!
10 pushups
12 monster walks (3 one way, 3 the other way, x 2)
10 wall slides
10 single leg good mornings on the left
10 single leg good mornings on the right
10 bicycle crunches.
That is, quite literally, it.
The short video at the top of this post walks you through each move during your first set!
Til next time,
You’ve got this ;)
