No more excuses.

You do have time to exercise.

workout

If you only have 5 minutes to spare, do 1 of these workouts.

10 minutes = 2 workouts

15 minutes = 3 workouts….

…You don’t even have to go to the gym.

.

The Rules

• Each workout lasts 5 minutes (the set/rep combinations are suggestions based upon my experience with clients)
• If you get to 5 minutes before you get to the end of the workout…STOP. 5 minutes max means 5 minutes max.
• Each workout involves 2 or 3 different exercises
• Perform 1 set of exercise A, then move on to exercise B
• No rest between sets – the workouts are designed to be performed with no rest
• If your form gets sloppy…slow down. Catch your breath. Good form is more important that getting one extra rep. Injuries suck.
