If you're having trouble finding a routine that will fit a tight schedule I might just have the answer, after all something is better than nothing. This workout is a home workout for when I don't go to the gym.
If you do want to go along with my workout routine, just remember to that you can change the quantity of the moves to push to your limits not past them. If you physically cant do any of the exercises I will list some alternatives at the end of the chapter.
In this chapter I will include the workouts I tend to do according to routine.MONDAY

ALTERNATIVES
Leg workouts:
- 60 second step up
this is one of the best leg workouts to do if you have the right size equipment to step onto which i can never find :( but are normally provided at the gym which isn't good for home workouts
- 60 second waking lunge (optional weights)
this is a good workout if you have the room to lunge forward for a minute but i normally choose to do these when going up a hill on a runAb workouts:
- 30 second breathing in (10x)
yes, breathing in, simply stand straight with your hands by your sides breath in for 30 seconds an give yourself a 10 second break before repeating, this exercise teaches your stomach muscles to be stronger and slightly tones you up
- 30 second plank
planks are a good move to tone up, working your arms and absArm workouts:
- 30 second plank ups
this exercise is an alternation between elbow plank and hand plank, it's a good alternative for push ups
- 30 second tricep push downs
this is a good alternative for tricep dips because personally sometimes I cant stand to do a any other dip than dipping a Dorito in salsa ;)Butt workouts:
- 10 second butt squeeze (12x)
this is a definite if you have a tight schedule you can literally do it anywhere whilst standing up, sure it isn't as effective but it does gradually tone up your butt muscles
- 30 second glute bridge (3x)
this is a really good exercise if you have knee problems or a just generally lazy (like me) and want to lay on the floor with your hips in the air, it's also a vey good toner moveBack muscles workouts:
- 30 second extension on ball
for this exercise you will need a ball and good balance but i assure you it works :)
- 60 second child pose
this is a really easy exercise if your lazy but it's a good workout if you have back problemsCardio workouts:
- 60 second running up stairs
this is like using the stair master at the gym except your running and at your own pace, this is a good workout if you don't have a skipping rope and don't want to skip any exercises
- running
this isn't an at home workout obviously but if you do have that stubborn fat you want to burn and you have so much pre-workout adrenaline then go for it, if you do have a tight schedule or theres a storm or something this isn't a good alternative, but if not no one is stopping you but yourselfI hope this helped, remember to vote and if you have any questions about any of the exercises or you have any questions about working out you want to ask fell free to comment or message me :)
