Work-It Wednesday: Got 30 Minutes?



Now 30 minutes doesn't sound like a lot of time out of your 24 hours (1440 minutes/day, just sayin'), but I understand it's hard with work/school, family, little ones, etc... but there are numerous gyms all over the place now, or you can easily create a gym at your home... so what's stopping you?! Just take 30 minutes for your health BEFORE you go on the couch and watch your favorite TV show (mine right now is New Girl, so awesome!!), or do what I do and wake up earlier to go to the gym and start your day energized and ready to take whatever comes your way! (but I'm just crazy to wake up earlier, so I don't blame you if that's not your style.) As other health/exercise blogs/websites say: If you're new to exercise, over 40, have a health problem, or take regular medication, check with your doctor before starting a fitness program.

I got an email for WebMD.com and after looking at the 12 different exercises, it seems like a lot, but moves rather fast if you keep up a faster pace. Breakdown of the routine: squats, lunges, Romanian dead lift, the bridge, push ups, chest press, bent-over row, shoulder press, cable pull-down, bicycle crunches, side planks, and cardio. Do this every other day, or 2 days in a row is ok too because these workouts are not too strenuous so you don't need a whole lot of recovering.
