Quick Workout

With all the busy-ness of the holiday season, it's hard to find time for those extended workouts. I try to always get my cardio workout done, but the weight training tends to take a back burner. So here's a way to get a little strength training in that will tide you over.

Do three sets of the following:

1. Squats - 30 reps

2. Push-ups - 20 reps

3. Crunches - 75 reps

These exercises will work most of your major muscle groups in a short amount of time.

A few other things you can do: while waiting in line at the grocery store, do calf raises (raise up to your tippy toes and lower back down). You can easily do hundreds of these. Also, contract your abs whenever you come to a red light. Remember to give yourself a day of rest between strength training workouts.
