Hate the gym? Hate working out? Feel pressed for time?

Try this:

Make a list of:

1. As many cardio exercises as you know (ie. jumping jacks, jogging in place, jumping rope, climbing stairs)
2. As many leg exercises as you know (ie. lunges, leg lifts)
3. As many arm exercises as you know (lifting dumbells, pushups)
4. As many stomach exercises as you know (sit ups, crunches)

Every day or every other day (whatever you are comfortable with) whenever you want, in the morning or after work or before bed...

Do 5 minutes of cardio
Do reps of a leg exercise (you decide what you're comfortable doing, then raise the bar every week, or every other week)
De reps of an arm exercise (same guidelines as above)
Do reps of a stomach exercise (same guidelines as above)
Finish with 5 more minutes of cardio

This should be about a 30-minute workout. For those of us who hate the gym or hate working out and haven't built up the stamina, this is a quick and easy way to start. Every week or every other week you can add minutes/reps to your workout. No gym membership, no expensive equipment (you could invest in some dumbells, a pedometer, an exercise/yoga ball or mat, ankle weights - but only if you want to).

Just thought I'd share. I started doing this a while ago and it seemed to really help me. I fell off the wagon, admittedly, but I plan to start up again today.
