Too Busy to get a workout in? I haven’t been able to exercise in a while, so now is a good time to start. What better way to start exercising with your family? Make it a priority, schedule it into your calendar.

No equipment? No Problem! These exercises are bodyweight exercises. You can do 1 set or 2 to 3 sets. Some families have also opted to do these exercises throughout the day during the weekends. One set mid-morning, one set mid-afternoon, and one set at night. The beauty of these exercises is you can do them anywhere at your own leisure.

1. 10 Jumping jacks

   

   Directions: Start with feet together. Jump feet apart about shoulder width and clap your hands above your head at the same time. Then jump into attention by bringing your feet back together and bringing your hands down.

   
   

2. 10 Superman

   

   Directions: Start face down on the floor. Extend your arms over your head. When you are ready, lift your feet (keeping your legs straight), arms, and head off of the floor. Hold for a couple of seconds and bring it back to the floor. You also have the option to lift and hold for 30 seconds and then relax.

   
   

3. 10 Sit Ups

   

   Directions: Start with your back on the floor. Tighten your core/stomach and your arms are crossed in front of your chest. I like to brace my feet underneath the couch and when ready lift your upper body off the floor and bring your chest to your legs.

   
   

4. 10 Jack Knife

   

   Directions: Start with your back on the floor. Your arms are straight with your hands above your head. Lift your arms and legs off the floor and bend your midsection so that you can touch your toes with your hands and slowly lower yourself back to the resting position.

   
   

5. 10 Burpees

   

   Directions: Start standing. Then squat down and put your hands onto the floor, then keep your more weight onto your hands and jump your feet out to push up position. Afterward, bring your feet back in so that you are back to squatting, and then jump as high as you can.

   
   

6. 10 Mountain Climbers

   

   Directions: Start in a push-up position with one knee bent. Then switch legs by bending the other knee and the bent knee is now straight. Go back and forth.
