Quick and Effective Exercises

Fitness is important. Not only does your cutting figure suffer if you don’t exercise, it could also cause several health problems such as high cholesterol, blood sugar, and hypertension. But today’s society demands time and leaves little room for anything else. If you don’t have time to do a thorough 3-hours workout each day, you might want to consider squeezing your daily regime to a solid, quick workout schedule that is almost just as effective. 10 to 15 minutes should be enough time for you to burn out the excess calories you’ve consumed each day and keep your body in shape.

 

Fitness Focus

First you’ll want to decide which part you want to work on today. Do you want to focus on losing that pot belly? Or do you want to slim down your arms, legs, and bum? Focusing can help you channel energy in the right direction. There is no need to do too much too quickly. And you can always alternate from one part of your body to another every different day of the week.

Before you begin, you will want to spare a few minutes for pre-exercise warm up. Don’t want to sprain those muscles there. If you want to focus on flattening your stomach, the easiest method would be stomach crunch.  Lie down on your back. Your knees should be bent and your feet should be flat on the floor. 

Place your hands somewhere that won’t hinder your movements, such as across your chest. Slowly curl up towards your knees until your shoulders are about three inches off the floor. Hold the position for a few seconds and then slowly let go. Do the stomach crunch 12 times and you’re done.

If you want to focus on the other parts of your body, such as arms, legs, or bums, there are plenty of quick exercises to choose from. But the workout that targets all those areas simultaneously would be the press-up. Place your hands on the floor, palms flat and fingers facing forward. Keep your legs straight as if your body were a rigid plank and keep your knees off the floor. Bend your arms to lower your chest until your elbows reach 90 degrees. Repeat this until you feel that satisfying burn in your limbs.
