While we may all want our holiday workout to look like the below, we know we won’t like the aftermath come January. Source 

Since I am trying to fit as much work into the next 12 work days as possible, efficient workouts are going to be the key to staying active in December. When I found myself at the office gym tonight at 7:30 I decided to put together this super quick, simple 20 minute workout that is perfect for those chaotic days when you can’t imagine fitting in anything more than a 20 minute workout. While 20 minutes may not seem like much tonight’s workout was proof that it can definitely get your heart rate going, make you sweat and is better than a zero minute workout. The purpose of this workout is to push yourself since it is short and sweet. Therefore, make sure you use weights that challenge you and push through the 1 minute if possible for each of the exercises. Since I’m not feeling 100% I did the cardio portion on the elliptical while going as fast as possible.

So the next time you don’t think you have time to workout, think again. Even better, next time you’re at the mall or shopping on Amazon, order a pair of hand weights so you can do this workout all year long from the comfort of your own home. You can do the cardio portion outside on the sidewalk after completing the strength part at home.

A workout I can do in front of Love Actually? Yes, please!
