No Time to Workout Workout

I have had a hard time getting in my workouts the last three weeks.  That’s not to say I didn’t get any exercise because I painted and cleaned for two weeks but I  just only a couple of formal workouts.  I sort of miss them so I have looked ahead and have planned my workouts for this week.   Planning is so important for me.  If I don’t plan I tend to “lose track of time”, get “too busy”,  or feel “too tired” when it comes to workout.

The few times I squeezed in a workout I did this.

No Time to Workout Workout

Cardio warm-up 5-10 minutes

Tabata Squats (4 minutes)

Tabata Push Up (4 minutes)

A . Military Presses – 3 sets of 10-12
B. Single Stiff Leg Deadlifts 3 sets of 10-12

No resting between A and B.  After B rest 1 minute then repeat.

Stretch.

The entire workout takes less than 20 minutes and each time I felt like I challenged my body.  I am so glad I finally got the courage to try tabata.

Note* – If you are brand new to exercising I would substitute 3 sets of squats and push ups for the tabata.  I would also do the military presses and the SLSL deadlits as straight sets (meaning don’t do them back to back) and I would do regular stiff leg deadlifts, i.e. stand on two feet.
