I’ve been looking for quick, no-equipment, yet challenging workouts that I can do from home on the days when I can’t bring myself to go to the gym. Last night I found some good ones! And this morning, I tried one out.

I did Workout A from this page . It didn’t take long at all and I DEFINITELY worked up a sweat! I only went 4 rounds and did at most 10 squats and 5 push-ups each time (except for the first round of squats, when I did 25)...but it was still a challenge. And it was actually kind of fun! I don’t think I’m going to do that whole plan, but it gives me a ton of options for things I can do away from the gym with zero equipment.

I’m starting to realize that I need to take advantage of the Y classes, if only because I need the motivation of fun and interaction. Strength training will probably have to be solitary still, but no reason to limit myself to the treadmill and other exercise machines.
