It can be difficult to find time for exercise. We all have the same 24 hours in a day, but some people seem to get so much more done than others. It’s not magic- they just know how to use their time wisely!

We barely have enough time as it is, but when you’re constantly running around from one appointment or obligation to another, it can be hard to fit in even the most basic of workouts.

Luckily there are ways that you can still stay fit without spending hours at the gym each week. You don’t need fancy equipment or weights- sometimes all it takes is your own body weight and 15 minutes of your day!

Here are some exercises to try:

Workout #1 — Slimming Squats

This workout tones your legs and tums up your calves.

-Bodyweight squats – 30 seconds (if you want an extra challenge try adding a weight)

-Mountain climbers – 20 seconds

-Rest for 15-20 seconds, repeat twice more for three sets total.

 

Workout #2 — Quick Yoga

This yoga routine is very simple and great for stretching.

-Cat/Cow pose (stretches back) – 30 seconds

-Downward facing dog (stretch arms, shoulders, hamstrings) -30 seconds

-Mountain pose (quads, calves) – 20 seconds (repeat once more for three sets total).

-Cobra stretch (chest muscles)– 20 seconds. Repeat twice more if you want to do four sets in all!  

Workout #3 — Hip Flexor Stretch

This is a great workout for your hips, quads and hamstrings.

-Warrior III (hip flexors) – 30 seconds on each leg if you can do it! If not, just try as many reps as possible before switching legs.

-Rest briefly- 20 to 25 seconds should be enough time to catch your breath then go again. Do three sets in all.

 

Workout #4 — Abs for Days

This quick workout will tone your core and burn fat.

-Plank to downward dog (stretches back, abs) – 30 seconds

-Mountain climbers -20 seconds . Repeat twice more if you can do three sets total!

-Side plank with leg raise- 20 on each side if possible, followed by a 15 second rest period between sides. Do two sets in all.   

 

Workout #5— Get Your Blood Pumping

This routine will get your blood pumping and rid that excess fat.

-Jumping jacks -20 seconds (if this is too hard try squat jacks instead). Followed by 15 second rest/transition period between rounds of jumping jack reps. Do one round to start then work up to three or four total if possible!   

-Rest briefly- 20-25 seconds should be enough time to catch your breath before moving onto the next exercise sequence. If not, just take as long as needed until ready again. Do three full rounds in all six exercises for best results!  

 

  Workout #6 — Arm, Butt & Abs Blast

-Kickboxing punches (30 seconds on each side if you can do it). Followed by 15 second rest/transition period between rounds of kickboxing or burpee reps. Do one round to start then work up to three or four total if possible!

-Squat with arm raise -20 seconds . Repeat twice more if you can do three sets in all!   

– Rest briefly- 20-25 seconds should be enough time to catch your breath before moving onto the next exercise sequence. If not, just take as long as needed until ready again. Do three full rounds in all six exercises for best results!  

 

The benefits of incorporating a 15-minute workout in your day

Although flexibility is the number one benefit, there are many other advantages to adding this routine into your daily life.

A 15-minute workout can help you save time! This will make it easier for you to stay on task and accomplish more without having to spend precious minutes doing a difficult or challenging workout.   Those short bursts also make it easier for people who need lower intensity workouts due to injury or chronic pain issues- no need to worry about hurting yourself here!

We know that it can be hard enough just trying to get things done during our work day let alone add fitness routines into that mix! It’s all too easy just to skip exercise after a long day at work, which can make it even harder to get up and do something the next morning. This 15 minute workout is quick enough that you should be able to squeeze in a few sets before heading home from work or absolutely no excuses because this routine takes under half an hour!

 

Last but not least, these short routines are perfect for busy moms who want to stay fit while still being there for their children. These bursts of exercise also give your metabolism a boost so that once you finish up with all six exercises, fat will start burning faster than ever. That means more energy throughout the entire day- say goodbye to afternoon fatigue and brain fog!

Try adding them into your schedule just a few times per week and see what happens! With regular practice, you’ll be back on track with staying fit even without extra hours in the day. Keep it up. We believe in you! You can do this!!! Good job keep going!! 🙂

Jay is an incredible fitness coach/trainer. His workouts are extremely diverse and engaged, every workout is a challenge, and it’s progressive so I’m always leaving feeling so much stronger. I’m never bored. Jay offers both in person and virtual training which is amazing because I travel a lot so being able to stay consistent with my routine is so helpful. When I’m person, Kay comes to my place and that is something I’m so grateful for. My biggest blocker for working out is time and the fact that Jay comes to me so I just have to walk upstairs ti shower before work is a complete game changer. Jay has shown me workouts and techniques I’d never learned in my many years of cross training and playing spots. I truly feel stronger after working with Jay. I look it too, but I’m not here for the weight loss. Jay has instilled a habit in me that I can’t live without now. His openness and how approachable he is makes our sessions super chill and comfortable. I also love how he hold me accountable to my diet, my exercise and everything in between. I’m absolutely stronger and healthier thanks to Jay over the last 6 months. I’ve also lost 17 pounds since starting to train with him back in July 2022. I highly recommend Jay as a trainer. You won’t regret it!

I had been working out seven days a week for over two years, and I did not see as many changes in my body as the ones that I have accomplished in just two months with Jay’s online personal training. I lost 15 pounds, I look and feel better. In 2 months with 2-3 half hour sessions per week with Jay as my online personal trainer my body accomplished what I could not accomplish by myself in 2 years. His meal plan is great as well, it is very diverse yet tailored to your needs and preferences. I was hesitant about the online personal training method, but after seeing the results, I do not only highly recommend Jay as a personal trainer, I decided to stay long term. Now I have new fitness goals and I know that Jay’s online personal training sessions will get me there. Look at my before (6/12/22) and after (8/24/22) pictures! :)

Jay has been a professional and motivating trainer. We have only been meeting a few months and I've lost close to 20 lbs. My energy levels have improved and I've noticed my metabolism is faster. I'm very satisfied with my results from training with Jay. He is very patient and can work with you no matter where you're at in your fitness path.

I would definitely recommend using Jay as a trainer! I always get a great workout in with Jay and it's so convenient doing the online personal training from home. I log onto zoom with him during my lunch since I work from home and get a quick 30 minute workout in. The workout plans are good and creative. Its crazy that I live in Texas, and using a trainer in California. But I get a better workout with him on zoom than I did with the guys here in the gym. Try it out, you won't regret it.

Training with Jay has been one of the biggest highlights of my 2020 experience. Jay has been with me through so many changes like when I went to visit family last spring and was worried about losing all the progress I had made. He offered online training I was still able to get a great workout in. His creativity is incredibly impressive, we were able to make use of what random objects we found in the family’s garage and it was both hilarious and amazingly effective! I never did a same workout the entire I was training with him, so every day it was exciting to see how far I could push my own limits. I highly recommend bringing a pen and notebook to notate what you do every workout with him, so you can practice later and because Jay is such a fountain of knowledge  He listened carefully to how I was feeling at the start of the workout to assess how our last workout went just to make sure that I was getting the most effective workout possible. He held me accountable whenever I was tempted or completely fell off my fitness plan and always inspired me back to confidence and drive. I came to him at 4’10 and nearly 150 lbs and now at a lean strong 125lbs. Thank you, Jay, for being a part of my journey in health and wellness, you are an incredibly warm and beautiful soul. I still continue to follow your advice and have been feeling so amazing!

Jay is an amazing trainer! He teaches not only the importance of a strong workout, but how to eat right and stay disciplined in the process. He pushes you, checks in on off-days and makes what can be a tough transformation fun. Get ready to work! I lost 20lbs in 5 months. So glad I found him.

Jay is the best women’s personal trainer! Since I have a very inconsistent schedule and going to the gym wasn’t always an option, I decided not to hire a personal trainer in Anne Arundel County, MD. I needed a routine that actually worked that I could do on my own time and one that would also keep me motivated. Using Jay’s online personal training program, I lost 25lbs in two months. His weekly check-ins kept me motivated and accountable. I continued to used the techniques I learned from him and I lost an additional 10lbs.
