Something happens when you miss a scheduled workout —
Once that door gets opened, all your hard-won motivation can slip outside.
And next thing you know, you’re skipping future workouts, too.
That’s one reason I always talk about the importance of sneaking in a quick workout instead of skipping your planned workouts when you’re short on time.
Making exercise a priority (even if you only have time for a 15-minute workout!) helps to KEEP it a priority.
With that in mind, I have 2 time-crunch workouts for you in this email that you can do if you’re traveling, don’t have access to equipment, or are short on time over the holidays.
● Workout 1 will give you a cardio boost
● Workout 2 will work your muscles
1. Quick Cardio BurstDuration: 15 minutes
● Warm-Up: 2 minutes of jumping jacks or high knees
● Workout:
● 30 seconds of burpees
● 30 seconds of rest
● 30 seconds of mountain climbers
● 30 seconds of rest
● 30 seconds of skaters (side-to-side hops)
● 30 seconds of rest
● Rest as needed and repeat 4 times
2. Total Body Tone-UpDuration: 20 minutes
● Warm-Up:
● 1 minute of arm circles (30 seconds forward, 30 seconds backward), 30 seconds of squats
● Workout:
● 40 seconds of push-ups (from knees or toes)

Both (or either) of these workouts will get the job done!
Remember: It’s the little things that you do consistently that move the needle on your health and fitness!
Keep moving!
