Time Time Time

I was at the gym and I came up with this idea for my next post. So I woke up late to hit the gym this morning. Usually I go at 7 for about an hour and change. That transformed into 8:00 this morning. I only had a half hour to get a good workout in because I have class in like 20 minutes actually. So I did 15 minutes on the machine, and then another 15 of jump rope, push-ups and wall squats. It was a sweaty one. People believe that you have to be in the gym hardcore for two hours a day. Truth of the matter is, people just don't have that kind of time. a good half hour is all you truly need for some cardio and/or weight lifting. It works for me and hopefully for you all as well. Here's some ideas of different workouts you can do within that half hour:

Push-ups for 1 minute
wall squats for 90 seconds
squat thrusts for 1 minute
Running in place for two minutes
Jump rope for five minutes
Now repeat that set a few times, and you'll be sure to feel the pain.
You wanna aim for low intensity exercises but with multiple repetitions.
Challenge yourself and see how many pushups you can do in a minute, or how many jumps you can do in five. Don't get comfortable with the movements, always try and switch it up and not reach that dreadful plateau that everyone speaks of.
Give it a try and let me know if this works for you.
Now it's time for class, so I'll catch you guys later!!!!!!
P.S. Thank you to everyone who continues to read my blog in all of these different countries and cities. It truly means a lot to me =)
