Not enough time today to make it to the gym?

Does your work/school day not give you enough time to make it to the gym?

Why not get a quick workout in at home before school or work?

A few "Do it at home exercises" to fulfill your day!

Excercise #1: Push-ups
 4 sets
15 reps each set
1- 1 1/2 minutes of rest between sets
Key points: Keep back perfectly straight, if a regular push-up is to hard at first, start with your knees on the ground instead of your feet
 

 Exercise #2: Pull-up
4 sets
10-12 reps each set
1-1 1/2 minutes of rest between sets
Key points: Chin ups are a safe alternative and much easier, Can be done anywhere in a house or 
outside that allows you to hang safely


Excercise #3: Crunches
3 or 4 sets
15 to 20 reps per set
2 minute rest in between sets
Key points: recommend to do exercise on carpet or mat, do not put alot of stress on neck, speed is not the key

Exercise #4: Laying leg lifts
3 sets
20-25 reps per set
1 1/2 minutes of rest between sets
Key points: keep back firm on ground, contract abdominal muscles at top of movement, keeps legs straight and together
