20 minute workout Whether you are trying to slim down, stay healthy, or just relieve stress, this is an easy, fast work out that you can fit into any busy schedule. I have a pretty full schedule, so I know how difficult it is to squeeze in a workout every day, but I promise if you do you will feel so much better. This workout is great to alternate with your regular work out or as a kick start to a healthier you! YOU WILL NEED a set of small hand weight, 5-8 lbs, depending on your strength level. If you don’t have weights, find soup cans or a full water bottle. If you don’t have those, just go without, you will still get your heart rate up and burn fat. Do each exercise for 30 seconds with no rests between. If needed, take short 5 second breaks, but try to push through. It’s only 20 min; you can do it!
