6 Minute Boot Camp by Carrie Burrows
So here they are….the 6 exercises that you can use to get your day started right! Try to work them into your morning routine- you only have to do one minute each!
1. Squats – The biggest muscle group in your body gets the first hit of attention
2. Lunges – The king of lower body blasting
3. Push-ups – Chest, shoulders, arms, back…a wake up call for your upper body
4. Crunches – Never forget the mid section!
5. Tricep dips- This works 3 muscles and makes your arms pop! Ladies, have to control the chicken wings and keep them tight!
6. Jumping Jacks – Finish off with some low impact cardio by doing some jumping jacks!
Do each exercise for one minute in duration with no rest in between. If you can’t do one full minute, take a quick rest to allow your body to get ready to do it again or move onto the next exercise. Either way, you are working those muscles hard and when you do it everyday, it won’t be long until you are completing the minute!
Every one of these exercises is simple, proven and can be scaled to meet your needs. Are lunges too easy for you? Grab a couple of 5 pound dumbbells and do them that way. Push-ups too hard? Do them on your knees or against the foot board of your bed or wall until you can do them properly.
The idea here is not to turn into the next fitness model on the cover of ‘Incredible Sexy Great Body”. The goal is to get your day started right. Setting a tone for the week and making sure you are improving your life.
6 minutes a day. For most of us, that means getting up when the alarm goes off instead of hitting snooze. For some it means setting the alarm 10 minutes earlier than normal. Either way, you can never have the excuses of time, equipment, or memberships again.
What do you think? Can you do it? Commit 6 minutes per day to your health, fitness and wellness? Let me now. I would love to hear your feedback!
