Start Your Day Off Right: The 15-Minute Bodyweight Workout
by Chad Howse
Have you ever intended to work out in the afternoon or evening but didn’t get a chance to and were bummed that exercising that day was a wash? Or maybe you have a tough time getting started in the morning and feel sluggish throughout your day. Luckily, you don’t have to spend hours in the gym to experience the benefits of working out. And you don’t need any machines or weights either – you can get a great workout in your house or apartment. I highly recommend that all men find time for a short bout of exercise first thing every morning. By starting your day with the 15-minute (or less) workout below, your body will release endorphins that promote brain function, and improve focus and creativity. You’re going to have a boost in energy, and also a boost in metabolism, helping you burn more fat throughout the rest of your work day. Making a short bodyweight workout part of your morning routine will have you heading into your day feeling at the top of your game. Plus, by starting your day off with at least some physical activity, if you have to miss your gym session later on, at least you’ll have this workout under your belt. It’s a good feeling and guarantees that you’ve done something active and healthy each day. 15-Minute Morning Bodyweight Workout Be sure to watch the video above to have the workout explained.
