20-30 min?! I can work with that!! 🔥 (you’ll want to save this!)
I used to think a workout only counted i could carve out an hour+, but now I care about building fitness during the life constraints I have of 3 little kids and a busy schedule— it means hour-long sessions will get skipped at this phase of life.
Sometimes going back to the basics of strength & well-rounded fitness can tick every box:
🤝 20-30 minutes
🤝 Simple, effective moves with a sprinkle of heart health and bone density benefits
🤝 Dumbbells at home
🤝 Progressive overload, so the weights bump up and build over time
.
10 per side b stance split squat
12 squat to upright row
16 deadbug lat pullover
1 min fast jump rope (heart & bones matter too!)
8 burpee or pushup variation of choice
.
It really can be that simple and resistance training you can follow on your own terms, from your living room or basement does exist. If you’re a busy mom who wants to get stronger, be able to run around with your kids and build capacity for the future as well, save this for your next workout
