Election Day Workout

Many schools and businesses are closed today. There are two ways you can view this:

1) Since you don't have to go to school and/or work, you have plenty of time to get a workout done

or

2) You may have to go to work and/or school and the kids are at home. You may not think you have time to get in a workout

Well, you do! Even if you can't get to the gym you have time to get a workout done. If your kids are home, take them to the park. While they're playing, you can get in a great bodyweight workout. You can also use some of the park equipment to assist you.

If you don't have a park near by, do a bodyweight workout at home. You can easily find 15 minutes.

I just finished a great bodyweight workout that took 23 minutes. I did a circuit with squats, lunges, pushups, inverted rows, burpees, and jumping jacks. I went through it twice as fast as possible with very little rest. That will give you a better workout then spending 60 or more minutes on a treadmill.

No excuses. Make use of what you have. If you don't have anything, use your bodyweight!

There are absolutely no excuses for not being able to get in a great workout 15-20 minutes a day 3-4 days a week. Do it!
