It’s hard enough to squeeze in a good night’s rest, a long day of work, a doctor’s appointment, time to cook dinner, time to do all the housework, and just generally be a mom … You can’t always have time to squeeze in an hour-long workout. We totally get it. For those days when you’re feeling swamped, try one (or all) of these moves to quickly tone up for maximum results when you’re on the go. (Bonus: None of these moves requires any equipment, so you can do them anytime, anywhere.)
Speedy Toning Move #1: The Forearm Plank
Get in a position as if you’re going to do a push up. Then, bend your elbows so that you are resting on your forearms. Hold this position for 60 seconds. This move will help you tone your core when you only have a moment or two to spare.
Speedy Toning Move #2: The Wall Sit
Stand with your back against a wall. Slide your back down the wall until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. It should look like you are sitting on an invisible chair. Hold this position for 60 seconds. The wall sit is a great way to tone your legs and glutes when you’re in a time crunch.
Speedy Toning Move #3: The Pushup
Yep, this is your basic pushup. You know what to do. Make sure to keep your butt down, and keep your wrists directly underneath your shoulders. Do 10 good ones for a quick way to tone your arms when you’re pressed for time.
Now that you’ve mastered the shortcuts, are you ready for the real thing? Find complete workouts you can do anywhere at theworkoutgirl.com.
