Trainer Tip: No Time to Exercise? Try This Quick 30-Minute Workout.

By Barbara Baez @BarbaraMBaez · On June 29, 2012

Ladies, many of us are fortunate to have the time to workout 5-7 days a week. Others, unfortunately, are very limited to specific days and times. What options are available for those ladies who have less time for exercise? There are many possibilities!

You can take a Lucille Roberts fitness class (an intense 45-minute workout). Another option is using a cardio machine for 30 minutes while incorporating high and low intervals.

Strength training is also important. This exercise regime that I am providing is a total body workout using no weights or machines–just your own body weight. It can be done at the gym or at home in about 30 minutes or less.

1. Warm-up Do 30 seconds of each of the following, for a total of 5 minutes:

    • Jog in place
    • Jumping jacks
    • Jump rope
    • Mountain climbers

2. Stretch Do a quick stretch of the following muscles:

  • Hamstrings
  • Hip flexors
  • Oblique area
  • Arms
  • Shoulders
  • Quadriceps

3. Strength Training Perform 3 sets of 8-10 reps for each of the following exercises:

  • Push-ups
  • Lunges (alternating legs)
  • Squats
  • Bicycle crunches
  • Pelvic bridges/tilts
  • Forearm plank raises

I hope this workout helps meet the needs of women with limited time. It can also be a new, challenging workout for anyone to try. Remember, ladies–keep working out hard to meet your goals!
