Quick Workout You Can Do in 5 Minutes or Less During Lunch at Home

You work hard to maintain your body or you used to before your work consumed your life. As a professional woman determined to succeed, we know that it isn't easy for you to find the time to work out anymore.

We also know that not being able to work out is eating you. Is there a solution? Yes, and it's called 5 minutes or less workout. Let's tell you about the excellent exercises every working woman can squeeze into her daily work routine.

Squats

Squats are easy and doable in five minutes or less. They will not only increase your heart rate and will target every major muscle in your body.  Additionally, it will strengthen your glutes and create a strong and sexy “booty”.

Calve Raises

No time to run? Hold your chair, feet parallel, and start lifting your heels. Repeat up to a minute You will get the strength of a runner’s calf without even running. Plus, it will create a better posture by standing taller.

High Knees

Are you ready to put your knees into action? High knees are a wonderful workout that engages both your arms and legs. Don't forget to raise your knees doing it one at a time. You need to lift them as high as you can up to your chest.

You need to alternate your arms and they should be opposite of the knee you're raising. For instance, if you're lifting your left knee off the floor, raise your right arm, and vice versa. Pretend as if you're running in place.

Plank

It's time to hit the floor. Drop down to the floor in an upward plank stance. Keep your core tight and your hips parallel to the floor. For modification, lower your knees down to the ground. Remember to breathe and send every breath to your entire body.

Plank Hopper

Ready to “Intensity your plank”?  Hop your feet inwards to a downward-facing dog, bringing your feet near to the center of the body, and then jump back out into the starting position. Repeat it as fast as you can for 30 seconds.

One mistake I have seen most people making is that they don't take their feet far enough and not doing so, leads the core to be not fully engaged as it should be. With time, we want you to challenge yourself to see how far you can take your feet and then back into the starting position.

We know you're busy, but we also know that you can take time out to perform these simple and effective workouts. With these five minutes or less workouts, you're neither compromising on your health nor work.
