What's Your Excuse?

I don't have time to drive 15 minutes to the gym, workout out for an hour, and drive 15 minutes home.

The kids are home, so I can't go to the gym.

I don't have the money to spend on a membership.

I don't like going to the gym.

It's raining so I can't go outside and walk.

I don't have any equipement at home.

I work too much.

I go to school and work.

I'm too tired.

I have to travel.

I have to vote and the lines will be too long.

Blah, blah, blah.

I have heard every excuse possible. And you know what, I don't think ANY of them are good!

Now I completely understand that most people think that if they can't go to a gym that they can't get in a great workout. They think they have to be able to dedicate at least 1 full hour to exercise or else it isn't worth their time. They think that . . . until they spend 15 minutes with me. : )

I could get you a better workout in 15 minutes than most people get in one full hour.

I strongly believe in getting more results in less time because there are more important things in life than worrying about exercising. Yes, exercising is very important, but your whole life should not revolve around it.

Don't get me wrong, you have to work very hard during those 15 minutes, or else the workout won't be effective. But ask yourself this: would you rather work hard for 15 minutes and get great results, or would you rather waste an hour or more and get very little results?

The choice is yours.

Here is a very quick total body workout:

1a) Pushups x10
1b) Squat x15
1c) Inverted Row x10 (this looks like a reverse pushup; set a bar about waist high (or higher to make it easier) and keep your body very tight just like in a pushup; pull your chest to the bar. You can also bend your legs to make it easier)
1d) Alternating Reverse Lunges x8 each leg

You'll do 10 pushups, 15 squats, 10 inverted rows, and then 8 reverse lunges on each leg. Go through this circuit as many times as possible in 15 minutes. Rest as little as possible and make sure your form is perfect.

Do this, and you'll get an awesome fat burning workout completed in only 15 minutes.

Good bye long, slow cardio!!!
