Quick Home Workout – Intense and Fast

Sometimes busy lives just get in the way of our fitness goals.  And even if we have time, we can’t always get to the gym – you might need to be at home with your children, waiting for a delivery or repair person, or even working at home and can just take a short break here and there.  But don’t give up on your fitness altogether!  You don’t need to go to the gym every day – here’s a quick but effective workout you can do in just half an hour, and best of all, you can do it at home without any expensive equipment!

Quick Home Workout – Intense and Fast

Last weekend I wasn’t able to go to the gym. I had to stay at home with Kayden, my little boy. My wife needed to go at a meeting with some friends, so I stayed home with Kayden. While Kayden was napping I decided to do a quick workout at home.

Sometimes you don’t need all the fancy stuff from the gym to get a great workout. I did a 30 minute workout,  and  a really good one too!  I just used my bodyweight to create some resistance, and combined it with some cardio.

You don’t need to break the bank to break a sweat. This workout was fast, hard, and intense – just how I like it! So what did I do?  Here’s my workout, and you can try it too!

Warm-up

As a warm-up, I did 30 seconds of jumping jacks alternating with 30 seconds of push-ups, repeating for 5 minutes. If you are not warmed-up after this I don’t know what you need!

Workout

For the workout itself, I did four groups of exercises.

First group:

• 15 lunges for each leg
• 30 crunches on the Stability Ball (if you don’t have a Stability Ball, perform crunches on floor)
• Repeat

Second group:

• 20 Squat and 10 Kick for each leg (Alternating leg)
• Push Up for 30 seconds
• Repeat

Third group:

• 15 Leg Curl on Stability Ball (If no Stability Ball perform a Back Bridge and raise your hips gently up and down)
• 30 seconds Plank
• Repeat

Fourth group:

• 30 seconds Invisible Skipping rope
• 30 seconds Mountain Climber
• Rest 30 seconds and Repeat

Relax and Stretch

Finish up with 5 minutes gentle stretching to cool down.

So, even if you don’t have time to go to the gym, you can do a really good workout in the middle of your living room.  It’s no problem to stay on track with your fitness program, even if you have to stay at home!
