It’s a proven fact that 15 minutes of exercise a day can extend your life expectance by 3 years! Only 15 minutes! We all have time for that!
Here are my tips on how to have a quick workout and what I
do to make sure I exercise at least 15 minutes a day!
Tips:
Get your stuff together the night before.
By throwing all your stuff in a bag or a box (runners, water
bottle, yoga mat, etc.) your automatically cutting out a chore for the next day’s
workout. Even if you aren’t going anywhere you still have all your things in
one place for the following day.
As tempting as it might be to just jog for 15 minutes, do
something more exciting! Mix things up!
There is nothing more boring then the same workout day in
and day out! Google interesting quick workout routines! There are tons of ideas
out there!
Plan what you’re going to do!
This will further eliminate all excuses of “I don’t have any
idea what to do in 15 minutes” and “I’m to busy to figure it out!” I use a
small to do list I bought at target for a $1 to write my plan on!
Plan when you’re going to workout the next day!
Don’t tell yourself, “Oh, I’ll do it later.” The day before
pick when you are going to workout – morning, afternoon or evening – and stick
to it! This will help you actually complete your workout and be proud of what
you did!
Give yourself a reward for completing your workout!
Make your reward something that is good for you but that you
also enjoy! (No chocolate!) My reward is almond milk in my tea (YUM!), this
isn’t anything special but I’m not a fan of my tea without it so its motivation
to get my butt into gear and get going!
When it comes to
planning your workout I have two guides, a low intensity and a high intensity,
and each night before my workout I change a something about my workout guide to
keep things interesting.
Low Intensity:
This workout consists of might jogging and yoga. If you’re a
beginner I would recommend you start here!
Light Jog – 2 minutes
Hare Pose – 1 minute
Cobra Pose – 1 minute
Low Lunge – 30 secs each side
Warrior Pose – 30 secs each side
Eagle Pose – 1 minute each side
Sitting Forward Fold – 1 minute each side
Half Boat – 1 minute
Plank Pose – 1 minute
Cobra Pose – 30 secs
Hare Pose – 30 secs
Light Jog – 2 minutes
High Intensity:
This workout consists of sprinting and high interval
training! This workout is for a more advanced person or someone wanting to
really get started with a new workout routine!
Light Jog – 1 minute
Sprint – 1 minute
Plank – 1 minute
Split Lunge Jumps – 1 minute
Push Ups – 1 minute
Bicycle Crunches – 1 minute
Sprint – 30 seconds
Light Jog – 1 minute
Sprint – 30 seconds
Side Plank – 30 seconds each side (9)
Squat Jumps – 1 minute
Push Ups – 1 minute

Sometimes I’ll start with this workout and then do yoga for
30 minutes! It’s a get mix of fast pace and then slowing things down!
I hope you all get active for at least 15 minutes a day –
walk your dog if that what you can fit into your schedule! Anything is better
then nothing!
Good Luck!!
Love, Peace &
Yoga,
Laura
