Sometimes it can be hard to find the time (and energy) to get to the gym each day. Luckily, the busy woman’s body weight workout can be performed from just about anywhere, in as little as 10 minutes! Aside from helping you lose weight and firm-up, this routine will boost your energy as well!

Exercising does not need to take up a large portion of your day. An effective workout can be performed in just minutes, by utilizing interval training.

This routine will switch back and forth, from body weight strength exercises to high-intensity moves that will get your heart pumping. Combining these two forms of exercise will allow you to get the most out of your time and effort.

You don’t need fancy equipment or an expensive gym membership to reach your goals. You can complete this routine at home, at work (on your lunch break), at the playground with the kids, or wherever else you may have 10 minutes to spare!

When you realize that exercise does not have to be complicated, you’ll realize that the body of your dreams is within reach!

Key Component to Weight Loss: Clean-Eating

Of course, we can’t forget that clean-eating is a key part to feeling and looking great! It is imperative that you stick to a healthy diet when trying to shed pounds and inches.

Clean eating is consuming foods that are fresh and unprocessed, like lean meats, fresh fruits and veggies, and whole grains. These foods are naturally lower in calories than processed foods, and packed full of vital nutrients that your body requires!
