Do Something, Anything!

A lot of people use the excuse that they don't have enough time to workout, can't fit it in, blah blah blah! Seriously people?

If you watch any tv at all then you have time to workout. Get your butt off of the couch and get moving!

Even if you haven't any equipment at home, ie. free weights, you can still get a fairly decent workout. One of my favorite things to do when I can't make it to the gym is a workout I call 100s. If you are new to working out, start with 20s.

My Super Amazing TV Workout (the super amazing part is that you are off the couch!)

Warm up for about 5 minutes by walking in place, kickboxing, simple wide legged squats.

1. 100 pushups. These can be done on your knees in sets of 10-15 with a 30 second rest in between sets.

2. 100 squats. A wide legged ballet squat will work the inner and outer thighs, while a typical shoulder width squat will focus on quads and glutes. Try both.

3. 100 lunges. Stationary lunges are great for beginners.


4. 5 one minute planks. Love planks, better for your neck and spine than crunches. Hold form for as long as possible, work up to 1 minute.


That should get you through an episode of Survivor!

Youtube is a great resource for exercise video descriptions and ideas.

What workout did you do today?
