No problem!! Listed below are a few simple exercises. Use the same exercises, just change up the order of your exercises and the amount of reps to each exercise each day you workout. Getting into the same set routine workout can stall your progress. When you mix up your exercise workouts, you help to guarantee your results in keeping your body guessing. Make a goal to use these exercises 3 to 4 days a week.

Below lists a few suggestions on different workouts with these simple exercises. Choose at least 6 exercise moves per workout:

Day 1- Set your timer for 60 seconds. Do as many reps of each exercise as you can, reset the timer for 60 seconds each exercise. Really focus and do your best not to rest between exercises. Do at least 2 sets of each, work up to 4 sets of each.

Day 2 - Start with 15 reps of each exercise, then do 14 reps, then 13 reps, then 12 reps, then 11 reps all the way to 1 rep each exercise. Push yourself here! Only rest if you are in pain. No hurting yourself! The less you rest, the better and quicker results you'll see. If your not comfortable with 15 reps yet, start with 10 reps and build your way up to 15 reps. Start where you feel best and keep challenging yourself to add more reps to your routine.

Day 3 - Set your timer for 20 minutes and do 15 reps of each exercise until your timer goes off. Not ready for 20 minutes? Start with 10 minutes and work your way up to 20 minutes. Start with 8 reps of each if you prefer, and build up to 15 reps. Keep moving through each set of exercises until your timer goes off.

Day 4 - Add jumping jacks, jog in place, and jump rope (use imaginary jump rope if you don't own one), do mountain climbers, if you have stairs....run up stairs, high step down stairs. Do 4 sets of 15 reps each. This time in between exercises do one of the extra exercises (jog in place) for 10 - 20 seconds and move on to the next exercise. If you are a beginner, start with 2 sets of 15 reps, or 3 sets of 10 reps. No resting between exercises, keep your heart rate up.

~For a challenge, you can add resistance bands, a towel, light weights or large cans.

**Before any workout, grab some water and warm up! You will get a better overall workout when you warm up to get your heart rate going. Maintain good posture, and squeeze your glutes during exercises. Push yourself, but don't hurt yourself! Do your very best! When your workout is complete, cool down and stretch! **

Don't be afraid to throw your own exercise routine together! That's what I love the most about working out is there are so many options on different work out routines that you have no limits!! Keep it interesting and fresh so your body won't get set on any routine, always keep it guessing and working!! Make it fun and it won't be work! Get into the habit, and you will be happy with how wonderful you will feel and how much more energy you have. The more consistent you are, the less effort it will take for you to make the time for your workouts for you will crave them!! Take the time for you!!
