I was looking for new ideas for quick workouts that would change up my routine and are feasible to squeeze into my day = no excuses. Most of these exercises  do not include weights, again, no excuses LOL.

I just used a mason jar, sharpie, and a tin can (for my “done/finished” pile). I found some ideas on the internet and made up some of my own:

• Crunches – 20, 30, 40
• Push-Ups – 10, 15, 20
• Planks – 30sec, 45sec, 60sec
• Scissor Kicks – 20, 40
• Calf Raises – 20, 40
• Russian Twists – 20, 30
• Should Tap Press – 10, 20
• Inclined Push-Ups – 10, 15
• Declined Push-Ups – 10, 15
• High-to-Tricep Plank – 15, 30
• Lunges – 20, 30, 40
• Skaters – 20, 30
• Calf Raises – 20, 40
• Mountain Climbers – 20, 30 40
• Fire Hydrants – 20, 30
• Donkey Kicks – 15, 25
• Lunge Kicks – 20, 30
• Squats – 20, 30
• Bridge Lifts – 20, 30, 40
• Chataranga – 10
• Plank Hip Touches – 15, 30
• Triangle Leg Raises – 10, 20
• Jumping Jacks – 25, 50
• High Knees – 20sec, 30sec
• Tricep Dips – 10, 20

I also made a Cardio Jar as well:

• Dealer’s Choice – 20mins, 30mins, 40mins
• Jog – 1, 2 miles; 20mins
• Hills – 20mins, 30mins; 4 miles
• Speed Walk – 20mins, 30mins, 40mins
• Incline Walk – 30mins, 40mins
• Jog 1 mile + Walk 1 mile
• Cycle – 20mins, 30mins; 2mins base pace + 1 min standing

So far, I definitely use the strength portion of this work out every day no matter how pressed for time I am. And then, when I have more time, I add the cardio portion. 

Hope this gives you some new ideas for workouts expression with the New Year around the corner.
