I don’t care when, how, or where you do your workout, just do it.  There are very few things stopping you from doing it.  People give me excuses all the time why they can’t work out.  Honestly, I don’t want to hear them.  Let’s walk through a couple of the most popular:

“I don’t have enough time” – Then do a 15 minute HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout.  HIIT gets your heart rate up and your blood pumping in a short amount of time.  The best part?  You’ll be feeling that

“I just don’t like working out”.  – I call shenanigans.  I am a firm believer that there is a type of workout out there for every single person.  Not a runner?  Try swimming.  Can’t swim?  Take a dance or zumba class.  Too embarrassed to shake your groove thing?  Take your dog on an even longer walk than usual and pick up the pace.  There are so many different options and you can find one for you if you’re just willing to try.

“Gyms are expensive” – No one said you had to join a gym to be a workout warrior!  Lace up your gym shoes and hit the pavement for a run, jog, or walk (or a combination if you want to be crazy).  Running not your scene?  Try out a workout like this one:

Workouts like this are quick, but super effective and will get you sweating.  This one is only 15 minutes of active time.  Try telling me you don’t have 15 minutes to do something to better yourself.  The best investment you can make is in you.  If you’re just starting out working out, I advise doing something to make you sweat for either 30 minutes or 3 miles.  Completely one hundred percent do able.
