At-Home Workouts for Everyone
Written by Nichole Kribs
Ever felt too busy to make it to the gym (#understatementoftheyear)? My guess is that we ALL have, at one point, felt like or literally have been too busy to make it to the gym. Sometimes our busy is our own perceived ‘busy’ and we are choosing not to prioritize the gym and other times we literally cannot make it to the gym. On the days when making it to the gym seems like a long shot, don’t give up altogether on the notion of exercising. There are plenty of things you can do around your house to get a quick sweat on.
Below are six of my favorite go-to home workouts when getting to the gym isn’t going to happen (these also make for great travel workouts):
