"It’s too expensive.”

"I’m tired.”

“I wouldn’t know what to do.”

“I don’t have time.”

There are many reasons, or excuses, as to why people don’t work out. One of the most popular reasons being a lack of time. Yes, I said it! A lack of TIME!

Excuse me, but there are 24 hours in a day. Beyonce happens to have the same 24 hours so we can all spare 20-30 minutes to move around.

With anxiety and depression disorder rates constantly rising, it’s important that we find ways to take better care of ourselves. Fitness is a form of self care, and one of the lowest cost forms if I’m being real. We can use fitness to help alleviate some of the stress in our daily lives and ultimately live healthier, higher quality lives.

Some busy people won’t commit to a fitness routine because many are convinced that a complete workout can take an hour or longer. The fact is, a 30 minute workout can be effective as long as we use our time wisely.

In this video, you’ll find strength exercises that target different muscle groups. The workout only takes about 30 minutes, including the warm up and a quick stretch. What’s awesome about these moves is that they can be modified in many different ways, making it accessible to all fitness levels.
