5 Quick Exercises To Do When You Don't Have Time To Work Out
Something that I hear ALL the time is that it can be hard to find time to workout!
Finding time for exercise can be challenging, but it is so important for your health! I know it’s not always easy to get to the gym or set aside an uninterrupted half an hour.
This is especially true for any mums and others with incredibly busy or unpredictable schedules. Since having Arna, I’ve had days when it’s hard to find time even to brush my teeth!
That’s why I’ve created this seven-minute circuit that you can do any time, anywhere — and you don’t need a lot of space to do it!
I’m going to show you how you can get your heart pumping with just five bodyweight moves, in under 10 minutes.
Grab your headphones and turn up your favourite workout songs to get started!
