Short and Intense 1 to 2 Minute Bodyweight Workouts
How can you get a workout in only 1 to 2 minutes a day ? With a quick bodyweight workout. This is a great stress reliever not to mention a great way to give yourself a boost when your energy is low.
Most people think that there is no way that they can get a workout in only 1 or 2 minutes a day, I disagree.
The concept is that if you stop exercising around the holidays or for any undetermined amount of time you will have a harder time getting back into it.
There are very few reasons to skip your workouts, the number 1 reason is there is no time, this is just an excuse to make us feel good about not following through, the easy way out.
We don't need a gym or have to go out and jog for 30 minutes to stay on track, what you need to do is learn that if you make exercise a way of life it will be easier to follow and you will always find time to squeeze a workout in.
Would you go a day without showering ? How about a day without brushing your teeth ? If you do both of these everyday doesn't it make sense to do something for your health and fitness on a daily basis.
My philosophy is get in whatever workout you can, I don't care if it's only doing 25 pushups, which should take no more then 30 seconds, then this leaves you with the I can always find time and there is no excuse mentality.
What if you did only 25 pushups or situps a day, that would be 175 pushups or situps a week or 9,125 a year seems like alot, yet it's only 25 pushups situps a day, so in only 30 seconds a day you can do 9,125 pushups or situps in 1 year.
A 1 or 2 minute short workout 1 or 2 times a day can get you back on track if you are feeling a little short on energy.
If you don't think you can get a workout in 1 or 2 minutes a day try 1 of the following short workouts.
1. Pushups -1 minute
Situps -1 minute
2. Jumping Jacks -1 minute
Pushups -1 minute
3. Bodyweight Squats -1 minute
Pushups -1 minute
4. Jumping Jacks -1 minute
Bodyweight Squats -1 minute
Do these as fast and explosive as possible.
Believe it or not 1 minute will probably be to long for most, this is a fact, so if 1 minute is to long try doing the workouts for 30 seconds, see you can get in a short effective workout in 1 to 2 minutes a day.
