No Gym Mini-Workout


No gym? No excuse to not get a little workout in. And by little, I mean fat burning, sweat inducing, heart racing exercising.

Bodyweight exercises are incredibly good. Done at a high intensity, you can push yourself to the limit and experience the full effects for days afterwards.

Perform several exercises in a circuit. That is, do a number of repetitions of one exercise, followed by another and another and repeat with little or no rest in between sets.

I’ve outlined the number of reps that I think would be pretty good, but definitely scale as necessary. If you start feeling light headed or hurt badly, stop. And keep a bottle of water close by – you will need it.
