Your Very Own Home Workout!

Hello All! Sorry it has been awhile, I have had the busiest week! I am back though and ready to give you the quality diet and exercise advice you have come to love!

Inspired by this weekends event, the Ican Challenge (I did a post yesterday, check it out!) I decided to change it up a little. I normally give simple, yet effective dieting and healthy eating tips, but today I am going to give you the simpliest little workout you can do, whether at home or in your office.

See, the biggest thing about losing weight or maintaining a healthy lifestyle is actually finding the time to commit to it! You have to eat right, exercise, take care of your family, work, etc....There are always a million excuses to not workout, but you should only remember the reason why you want to workout!

So, try this little workout. It can be done in 10 minutes or you can stretch it out to 30 minutes. You are only using your body weight, which means there is no excuse to not do this workout!

1. Prisoner squat, 20 reps- place feet shoulder width apart. Hands on head (just like you got arrested!). Then perform a regular squat. Keep feet flat on floor. Sit back pushing your hips back to keep knees aligned with your ankles.

2. Air Presses, 20 reps- place feet shoulder width apart. Stand straight up. Arms are straight up above your head. Then lower your arms to your side, bending at the elbow until your back of your arms are parellel to the ground. Your hands should still be facing straight up (Just like doing a shoulder press). Key here is to imagine pushing a heavy weight.

3. Lunges, 10 reps per leg- This is your basic forward lunge. Step off with one foot. Take a wide step forward and bend at the knees. Do not touch your knees to the ground, and then step back to starting position.

That's it! Just 3 exercise. Now I know this does not sound like much, but complete each exercise one right after the other (circuit style). After lunges take short break, no more then 30 seconds and perform again. Go through this at least 3 times or as many as you can! Have fun

If you are not sure how to do any of these, just hit me up for more advice!
