You're too busy to stress about fitness!
We all have days where there is just NOT an extra 15 minutes to schedule a sweat sesh. The good news is, a little here and a little there adds up, so go ahead and release the guilt if you’re stretched too thin to fit in a full workout.
When it’s too difficult to find time to add exercise to an already hectic schedule, follow along and get in your daily 1-minute move.
Monday: Plank
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 1 minute 10 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is a Plank. This simple, effective bodyweight exercise requires no equipment and can be performed just about anywhere. It’s one of the most effective total-body exercises. When done properly, it can strengthen your core, upper and lower body. Basically, it’ll build muscle from head to toe!
Tuesday: Push-Ups
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 1 minute 40 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is Push-Ups. This fast and effective exercise builds strength in your upper body and when using the proper form, can also strengthen the lower back and core.
Wednesday: Wall Sit (Wall Squat)
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 1 minute 10 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is a Wall Squat. This super effective lower body exercise requires you to hold yourself in a seated position (hence the name), for a certain amount of time. A handy feature about this move is that it requires no equipment to perform it. So, it’s PERFECT for doing at home! All you need is a wall or (study) vertical surface to lean against and you’re good to go!
Thursday: Mountain Climbers
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 2 minutes 10 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is Mountain Climbers. This compound exercise is great for building cardio endurance, core strength, and agility. You work several different muscle groups with mountain climbers—so it’s almost like getting a total-body workout with just one exercise.
Friday: Side Plank (30 seconds per side)
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 1 minutes 45 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is Side Planks. Unlike Crunches and Sit Ups, Side Planks strengthen your core without putting pressure on your lower back. They also build balance and coordination.
Saturday: Static Squat
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 60 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is a Static Squat. This simple, effective move targets your quads and glutes.
Sunday: Alternating Forward Punches (with core contracted)
1-Minute Workout Starts at: 1 minute 50 seconds
Today’s 1-minute move is Alternating Forward Punches (with or without Dumbbells). This boxing move is used for speed, agility, and strength and will help to tone and sculpt your upper body. To maximize your results, you’ll want a light pair of dumbbells. (Kalie’s using 3-pound weights). If you don’t have dumbbells or prefer not to use them, that’s okay too!
