15 min sweat set with Ena

A workout that works with any schedule

Many of us have either heard someone say or said ourselves at one point or another “I am too busy to exercise”. We also know the simple truth: no benefits without exercise.

Time is precious, but physical health is crucial if we still want to be comfortably active at later stages in life. The workout below is a synergy of time efficiency and effective exercise.

15 minutes is all you need. I even want to take it a step further and encourage you to exercise in the mornings. There are a number of reasons why breaking a sweat after getting up can really set us up for a great day:

• It boosts blood circulation to our organs, muscles and tissue, increasing the number of calories we burn throughout the day.

• It kick-starts the metabolism.

• Sweating makes us thirsty, which can help to increase our water intake throughout the day.

• Sweating allows our skin to release toxins.

And how convenient that you just find yourself reading a piece with a totally doable, full-body and core workout.

Full-Body Sweat Session

You will need:

• 15 minutes

• Water

Each exercise = 30 seconds Rest = 1 minute after the 8th exercise Complete the circuit 3 times (and if you have more time, challenge yourself for a 4th round)

1. Jump Rope

(mimic the movement if you do not have a rope – it works the same!)

2. Walking Lunges

3. Mountain Climbers

4. Single-leg Glute Bridges (left)

5. Single-leg Glute Bridges (right)

6. Knee Push-ups

7. Prisoner Squats

8. Heel Taps

This is a quick and easy workout to incorporate into your day, and it is one you can stick to for weeks. The key is to keep it challenging, so when it gets too easy, you can add weights where applicable, increase the work-out time of each exercise, or add more rounds.

Easy ways to up your health:

• You have heard it – drink more water!

• Take a calcium supplement. It builds and maintains our bones, enables muscles to contract and supports our heart’s most basic function – beating.

• Make a point of not skipping your exercises for more than two days.
