O
ver the last several months, we’ve all had to get a bit more creative with our exercise routines. With gyms and studios closed in most regions due to the pandemic, more and more people are working out at home. Staying motivated to exercise can be challenging—when you were going to the gym or a class, it was easier to stay committed. At home, there always seems to be something else that needs to be done.

The trick is to find a workout that you can do quickly! A 30 to 45-minute workout is highly effective and easier to commit to. The best news? I’ve got the perfect solution! This workout can be done at your pace and can be modified for any level. You don’t even need any equipment. All you need is a little bit of floor space, a mat or a towel, and some great tunes to keep you pumped.
SQUAT SERIES 1. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, toes pointed forward
2. Keeping your core engaged and your
chest up during the movement, lower yourself until you are standing in a seated position (think of it as sitting on an invisible chair)
3. Push back up through your heels into your starting position, squeezing your glutes when you reach the top
Repeat this move 10 times slowly, then 10 times faster, then hold in a squat and pulse to finish. 68
