We know. Sometimes it is hard to find the time. It happens to all of us.
You can have the absolute best of intentions, the latest gym gear and a membership to your local fitness club but sometimes life, work or anything else connected to this busy society we live in can get in the way.
It is entirely reasonable to understand that it is difficult to siphon off the hour or so needed to warm up, train, warm down, shower and change — but if that seems like an impossibility to fit into your schedule, you can at least give yourself less than ten minutes to maintain your pursuit of physical and mental betterment, right?
Give us seven minutes and get accustomed to the following (each set is one minute long):
High Plank
This is a total body workout. Start in the push-up position with your hands beneath your shoulders and make sure your back is forming a straight line all the way to your heels. Brace your abs and glutes and count to 60.
Deadbug
Another exercise which will engage your core. Lie facing the sky with your legs up, bent to 90 degrees. Brace your abs and lower back as you raise your right arm overhead and left leg to the floor. Hold and the switch.
Full Roll-up
This will aid your functional movement. Lie face-up with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Extend your arms forward while drawing in your naval, one vertabra at a go. Lower until your shoulder blades hit the floor. Hold and repeat.
Tabletop Heel Tap
This is one for your lower abs. Lie face-up with your legs elevated to 90 degrees. Lower your legs making sure your back stays flat on the floor, raise them again and repeat.
Hip Tip Crunch
Life with your face and legs pointed to the ceiling, with your hands behind your head. Lift your hips from the floor and crunch from your torso. Lower your hips but do not release.
