Quick, Energizing Workouts at Home

 

Get through this hump day with a super quick morning workout to give you the jumpstart you need! I’ve included some variations to these work outs so you can do them on your busiest mornings without getting sick of the same routine. They don’t take much time at all, so no excuses!! Set your alarm 20 minutes early, or better yet, get your workout in while your waiting for your coffee to brew!

I’ve started to pair these workouts with a post-workout breakfast snack of grapefruit and soy nuts. The texture of the two combined is delicious and will give you even more energy!
Repeat these routines as many times as you can, however, they are designed to get your body moving and your blood pumping with a quick routine on the days you just can’t find the time for a long gym session.
