Just Go and DO IT!
Posted Wednesday, August 24, 2011 by Mike Hanley
Do you ever have the feeling that you would like to get in a couple of extra workouts per week but just can’t seem to find the time?
Do you plan on going to the gym for a workout and find that it will take too much time and skip it all together?
Well I am here to tell you that this does NOT have to be the case. Many times we feel that if we workout it has to be a full 45 to 60 minute workout or it is not worth it. This is the farthest from the truth. Research has shown us you can get a awesome workout in as little as 10 minutes IF it is done correctly.
We all struggle with have only so much time in the day to do certain things however if you are not getting your workouts in regularly than you will not get the results you are looking for. The bottom line to it is instead of trying to find the time to workout you MUST MAKE THE TIME!
If you can’t make a schedules class or have to do a workout on your own whether it is at the gym or at home just DO IT! Getting a workout in is much better than skipping a workout. So if you schedule changes just work around it and get it done!
If you have a gym membership which all of our members do and have 10-20 minutes to do a workout than you can get it done.
Lately I have been adding a couple of mini conditioning workouts in at home and they really have been amazing workouts with very little equipment. I use a kettlebell, TRX suspension system and bodyweight and to be honest you do not even need all that.
Here are a couple of quick workouts that will give you tremendous results in the area of fat loss.
