4 short workouts to save for a busy day
We love long workouts, but they can be either really inefficient or just take up way too much time. Let's face it, between meetings, children and everyday life sometimes you only have 5-10 mins to get your sweat on and move on. Which is why we have put together 4 workouts that you can do on a busy day.
The following workouts focus on a specific body area, and are set up to be AMRAP (as many reps as possible) within the time allocated, but don't rush! Focus on your form more so than speed to target the right areas and avoid injury. You can do them separately when you have 10 mins to spare or altogether for a full body workout. Or just add a section to the end of your normal workout for a little extra oomph!
You only need some space, a mat, and a timer app (this is invaluable!). All the exercises can be done without weights but if you want to add some dumbbells, kettlebell or medicine ball for an extra challenge go for it!
Remember you can always edit the timing if you need a longer rest period, or feel like you could work for longer, and if you have less time available just do less rounds. If you are not sure how to do an exercise, just click on the link provided for an explanation.
Workout 1 - Legs (9mins 55secs)
