If you’re like me, you’re stuck studying for lovely midterms! BUT, you still need to find time to workout! You could say I’m a bit of a fitness junkie, but I promise if you take just 20 minutes to do this quick workout you’ll feel amazing and hopefully can study even better. So grab a friend or your roomie and get your sweat on! No equipment needed.
Warm up (put on your favorite music and it’ll be fun!)
Jog in place 30 seconds
High knees 30 seconds
Jumping jacks 30 seconds
Repeat
For all squats and lunges make sure to keep your knees behind your toes!
Try not to take breaks in between, but if needed take a breather.
Do all for 30 seconds. If you want a longer or more challenging workout, try 45 seconds to 1 min., and repeat as many times as you can!
Body Weight Squats
Push-ups (on hands and feet or on knees, just be sure to keep body in straight line- no saggy hips and no butt in the air!)
Front Lunges
Squat Jumps
Back Lunges
Mountain Climbers (in plank position on hands, tuck left knee towards chest, abs tight, then right. Repeat as quick as possible with good form)
Calf Raises (standing tall, holding on to something for balance if needed, repeatedly stand on toes and back down. For more of a challenge, don’t let heels touch floor between.)
Split Squats (Jumping Switch Lunges)
Side Plank (both sides, elbow or hand)
Plank Hold (elbows or hands)
And remember- good form is more important than how many you do!
Also, if anyone has any suggestions or requests for workouts, whether it be a specific body part, strength or cardio, just let me know.
