“No time for sports” is not an excuse anymore in 2016!
LEVEL: BEGINNER
The excuse “I didn’t have time to work out” is not going to be accepted in 2016. Very simple exercises, that won’t need much time can be proceeded anywhere and the best thing is, you don’t need any kinds of sport devices. Since some new surveys found out that short, moderate to medium strain is very effective for our body and the cardiovascular system, everyone should find a few minutes every day to work out.
Three exercises that can be easily performed from anywhere, will be presented in the following passages:
- Plank Push-Up
- 180-Degree-Squat-Jump
- Bicycle Crunch
The Plank Push up starts in the front support position and concludes with a change of place of your forearm in the push-up position and then again back to the starting position. If you are interested in a full body work-out, the 180-Degree-Squat-Jump seems to fit just right. Initial position is the squat position, followed by two jumps where you move your body 90 degrees back and forth to complete the 180 degrees. For every abs-lover, the Bicycle crunch is a well-known exercise. Lay down on your back, lift your legs and position them in a kind of bicycle-pedal movement. Bring your hands to your temples and move your elbows rotational from one knee to the other.
These three exercises definitely challenge a great amount of your muscles
Variations: Kettlebells or Dumbbells for the squats.

BEFORE
An adequate room size is beneficial, but not necessary. Your office, the bedroom or the livingroom will also be suitable for carrying out these exercises. Include kettleballs or dumbbells if you have.
EXPERT EXPERIENCE
When doing the rotation-squats ensure that you concentrate on a clean rotation and a safe landing. As it gets more exhausting, you don’t only experience less strength and power but you also concentrate less on what is important.
CHALLENGE
Do the bicycle crunch on time and convince your friends to join the challenge – whoever can make the most crunches in the predefined time is the winner!
IMPORTANT ADVICE
- Some push-ups and jumping jacks for warming up your body will definitely not harm.
- Don’t lie to yourself – it doesn’t matter how many exercises you were able to do, what matter is to proceed the exercises clean and correct.
- If you have problems with the plank push ups, watch the video below.
