Do you have a tightly packed schedule on certain days of the week? Finding it difficult to make time to do an intense workout along with all your classes, social life, and work? Here is a simple, yet intense workout to fit into your daily routine…
What you need:
Yoga mat, space on the floor, a stopwatch/timer
You can make this workout as long or as short as your schedule allows!
THE WORKOUT
*Repeat steps 1-3 as many times as you can
1.    On your front, lying on your yoga mat, assume the plank position and hold yourself in plank for 1 minute. This will engage all your important muscle groups all the way down your back and into your core.
2.    After the minute is up, stay in plank. While in the plank position, dip your right hip to the side to touch the ground. Hold for five seconds. Then, return to the upright plank position. After that, dip your left hip down to touch the ground. Repeat 10x on each side.
3.    Back in plank position, raise your left arm to the sky. Support yourself with your right side in this side-plank position. Then alternate sides. Hold each side for at least 1 minute.
EXTRA MOVES: if you have time and energy, add in a few sets of one-legged pushups, mountain climbers, and V-sit ups! All these are great ways to target core muscles and other trouble areas quickly! Overall, these can be challenging moves, but become much easier when repeated on a daily basis. Practice these moves every day for a few minutes, and soon you will feel much stronger and see some great results!
