A quick workout in the home!

If you just don’t want to go the gym, do a quick body weight workout in the home. You can put your stop watch on 15 minutes and just go for it. You can incorporate lunges, hopping squats, ab crunches, push-ups, planks, running in place, running in place with high knees, etc. Just creative, but try to stay within that time-limit and when you reach your goal, then you are done. Right now it is the Holidays, New’s Year Eve parties and just gearing up for your 2012 goals, so stay motivated and don’t stop exercising. Also, if you are having a challenging time coming up with a quick workout, check out this video: Portland Personal Trainer – Kisar’s Intense Butt & Leg Workout to help you with your fitness routine!

Happy Holidays,
