Any Time, Any Place

Get a Workout Any Time, Anywhere

Americans are busier than ever, most of us balancing school or work and trying to fit in quality time with friends and family.

We may not have the ability to train for 2 hours a day as some celebrities do (hint hint: the cast members for the movie 300 were working out 7 hours a day at one point). But we can make little changes that go a long way.

You can do the following small tweaks to your daily routine anytime and anyplace and you will see results in toning as well as energy levels:

Each time you brush your teeth, do squats for the entire time (you should be brushing your teeth for 1-2 minutes)
Every time you are at a stop light, do some butt clenches (clench as tight as you can for five seconds, then release, and repeat).
Every hour get up and walk for five minutes. If you are at the office, take a walk outside, the fresh air will do you good, or walk laps inside your building if it is too cold. Surprisingly for someone who works 8 hours, these little breaks in the day add up to 40 minutes of walking! And help maintain energy levels since you are not sitting complacent for more than an hour.
Three times a day (meals can be a good reminder) do as many push-ups as you can until you tire.
If/When you watch television, do abdominal planks on each commercial break. An abdominal plank is when you hold your body up laying on your forearms and elbows the rest of your body in pushup position and you use your abdominal muscles to balance. Try to do 30 seconds in plank, 30 seconds recovery, and repeat until your show comes back on.
Park in the parking space farthest away and get a good walk in while doing your errands.
Try doing lunges to and from your mailbox.

These are examples of some simple moves you can do anytime and anyplace that do not take up any time out of your busy day.
