The 5 Minute Workout! No excuses!

That's right. Five minute Workout. This is not a joke
3 moves. 5 minutes. All you need is yourself and a resistance band as well as a bedpost or something to anchor it to.


It's a simple tabata style workout. 20 seconds of work, then 10 seconds of rest, 20 on, 10 off, repeat for 5 min! 10 min if you're feeling spunky!

There's a hand full of different Tabata timers available on the App Store, some labeled KB swing timer, that make this workout much easier than trying to watch the clock yourself.
 The Basic workout is this:
     Bodyweight Squats for 20 sec rest for 10 sec
     Push ups for 20 sec rest for 10 sec
     Band Rows for 20 sec rest for 10 sec
     Repeat for five min!
This is a great simple bare bones workout that is very easy for beginners to learn and enjoy!
Upper body push, upper body pull, and a lower body exercise.
Give it a shot! I'm sure you'll be surprised at the workout you can get in five min!
Enjoy!
