Fitness Routines & Exercises for Busy People Who Have No Time

When you want to keep fit but have no time to exercise, try these tips from Real Simple:

1. Do belly braces throughout the day. Fogg should draw in her navel as close to her spine as she can without holding her breath and hold until she can’t anymore. She can do this anytime and anyplace — while waiting in line, driving, or sitting in a meeting. This simple move will help strengthen her abs, improve her posture, and flatten her stomach.

2. Add a 10-minute strengthening routine in the morning. In the course of a few months, she should build up to 15 minutes, then 20. These exercises will help her feel and look more toned:

Arm circles: With arms out to the side, make dinner plate–size circles with your fists. Do 10 in each direction and repeat.

Simple squats: Place your hands behind your head. With feet shoulder-width apart, lower yourself as if about to sit in a chair. Do two sets of 10 repetitions.

Knee push-ups: Lie on your stomach, hands under your shoulders, knees bent, and feet together. Push up, then lie back down. Do two sets of 10 repetitions.

Reverse crunches: Lie on your back, knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Place your hands behind your head and bring your knees toward your face while exhaling. Do two sets of 10 repetitions. Link.
