5-Minute Workouts — No Gym Required
If you’ve got five minutes – just five – you can build the fitness habit. Five minutes – first thing in the morning, on your lunch break, or while the kids play in the living room. Once you’ve got five minutes a day down, you can build from there. Combine some of these workouts or add in a bit of walking or jogging. Before you know it, the fitness habit will have become a natural part of your day – no gym required. Try one of these 5-minute workouts to tone one of your problem areas — today!
For your back – a great workout for improved strength and posture!
All over toning – start working towards that lean look you’ve always craved with these body-weight exercises.
Yoga for arms – if you’re under the impression that yoga isn’t a real workout, think again. Yoga is one of the best ways to gain balance and strength using little more than your own bodyweight.
For a better booty – your backside will thank you for the extra lift this butt workout will bring.
For abs – start building a solid core with these quickie ab exercises and enjoy the extra confidence you feel when your jeans start to fit a little better!
A do-it-all workout move – if you love simplicity, then this workout is for you. One move, five minutes, and maximum results.
For your legs – we couldn’t forget a workout for those lengthy lower limbs, and this one takes the cake. Get to work on that thigh jiggle with this fast five workout.
If you’ve recently (re)committed yourself to getting fit, your motivation has probably taken a few hits. It rises and falls with our moods, our energy, and our ambition. Fitness is a commitment, and since it tends to be one we only make to ourselves, it’s easy to let it slip. Start here. Start small so that saying “no” seems absolutely ridiculous. Start small so that you don’t over-do it and dread the next workout. Start with just five minutes a day.
