    How to fit a quick workout into your day

    Quick Exercise 1: Tricep Kickback With A side tap
    1. Take your hand weights in both hands.
    2. Place one foot out to the side and one arm back parallel with your leg.
    3. Come back in to starting position.
    4. Alternate to the other side and continue to alternate back and forth for 12-15 reps.

    Tips:

    •  Use a hand weight that challenges you with 12-15 reps.
    •  Tighten your gluts for maximum workout.


    Quick Exercise 2: Pilates-based exercise

    Spread your legs so your heels face inward and toes point outward.
    Plie and as you rise back up, lift your leg to the side.
    Plie down again and as you rise back up, lift your right leg in the air.
    Repeat 12-15 times.

    Tips:

    •   Keep your tailbone underneath
    •   Keep your arms moving
    •   More movement = more calories burned


    Quick Exercise 3: Kickboxing Movement

    Spread your legs a little wider than your hips with your toes facing forward.
    Place your hands in front of you in a boxing position.
    Hook your arm around as if you were coming to the side of someone’s face.
    Alternate arms back and forth, increasing the speed.

    Tips:

    •   Breathe each time you swing your arms.
    •   Contract your muscles as you go.
