30 Minute No Gym Body Workout, Greatist.com

"I have a 30 minutes to workout, But... " There is a long laundry list of things that could complete this sentence. What is your favorite? Mine is "...that's not enough time for a good workout."  So when I recently received an email from Greatist.com featuring this worout, I thought it was genius.  The actual workout, the pictures and the entire website are extremely helpful for health and wellness.  Greatist.com includes all things health related including mental, physical, spiritual, nutrition, recipes and much more.

The 30-Minute, No Gym workout routine can be used for many scenarios. Only have 15 minutes to workout? Perform half the number of reps. Bored with your current routine and looking for new ideas? Add a mountain climber as a warm up or a Tuck Jump between weight machines to keep your heart rate up. Travel a lot and need some ideas for on the go? These exercises can be done in a small space with no additional equipment. Strictly a cardio junkie and want to try strength training without heavy weights? Experts say that strength training with your own body weight as the resistance is extremely effective because as we get older, our muscle strength declines dramatically.  Summer is coming and want to exercise outdoors, say in the park? It's a perfect routine to try an exercise after 5 minutes of walking or in a grassy area while your kids play on the jungle gym.

Start incorporating one, some or all of these exercises during any part of your day and consider it a win!

  1. Superman is lying on your tummy with arms and feet behind you like shown. Using your core, lift your arms and your leg about 6 inches off the ground. Be aware of your lower back and not extending too much. If you want to turn it into "Swimming" from Pilates, then alternate your arms and your legs like your swimming with straight arms and legs.
