Your Body Weight Workout – As Many Rounds As Possible

(Disclosure: Nike Women provided the clothing worn in this workout. As always, we only wear clothes that make us feel super strong)

I’ve talked about work travel before. It’s generally intense and requires the packing in of a lot of work in a little time. This past week for me was probably the most intense work travel I’ve experienced, with barely a second to sleep, let alone work out.

Every once in a while, a work trip is legitimately fun. This most recent trip mixed days of work and nights of fun. But at a certain point, five or six hours of sleep each night and little exercise isn’t going to cut it. So you’ve got to fit it in.

Because of that packed schedule, I created a workout that can fit into a schedule that’s rife with excuses. Fifteen minutes is all that you need for this workout. Get up just 15 minutes earlier that you planned and hit it hard for the time you have using only your bodyweight.

This workout consists of five simple exercises. Do each exercise 20 times and do as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes.

V-Ups: From a laying position, lift your legs up to a 45 degree angle and reach your hands towards your feet. To make this easier, you can bend your legs instead of keeping them straight.

Wall Sit Leg lifts: Sit into a wall sit with your hips and your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. Lift one straight leg off the floor so that your knees are parallel and lift and lower that straight leg. Do 20 on one leg, then switch.
