Sometimes, you can't get to the gym or even access the workout gear you have stashed in your basement. Maybe you're on a business trip and stuck in some roadside motel in rural Arkansas. Maybe you're trapped at your in-laws' house (yikes!). Maybe the Feds discovered you're the missing link to the Enron case.Well, that's still no excuse. This full-body routine requires no equipment and only 8 minutes of your time. Perform each exercise below for 30 seconds. Do one move after another without rest and repeat the sequence without rest for a total of four times, if you can.
The intensity of this workout conditions your muscular and cardiovascular systems, helps improve flexibility, and melts fat. You'll burn hundreds of calories.
Jumping Jacks. Just like grade school. Start with your hands on your hips and your feet together. Raise your hands out to your sides and up overhead as you move your feet out to the sides. Then bring your feet back together and lower your hands to your sides.
Split Hops. Stand with your hands on your hips and your feet together. Move your left foot 6 inches forward and your right foot 6 inches back. Now jump up and switch leg positions so that your right foot is forward.
Squat Thrusts with Pushups. Stand with your arms at your sides. Bend your knees and lower your hands to the floor. Kick your legs behind you so that you're in a Pushup position. Now do a Pushup. Thrust your knees to your chest so that your feet are back underneath you and stand back up.
That's it! Eight minutes and you can still outrun the Feds. So quit whining and factor these exercises into your 24-hour daily life!
