As fitness AND exercise specialist Kelli Calabrese explains, if you only HAVE 15 minutes, you can take one OF two approaches: Target one muscle group, or do a quick total-body-part workout daily. THE point is, quick workouts can work! 2741
Depending on their ages, physical abilities AND maturity levels, Calabrese says that workouts FOR moms can include THE kids; it's a great way TO introduce them TO fitness. She exercises with her 8- AND 9-year-olds,  and they attend THE boot camp she teaches (they are mature enough TO follow directions AND BE engaged). 5331

FOR this 15-minute leg/plyo workout, alternate 1 minute strength training followed by 30 seconds OF a burst/plyo exercise. Calabrese suggests any one OF THE following moves TO incorporate into a 15-minute workout, TO BE completed with or without dumbbells AND a mat: 4730
  • Face each other head TO head IN THE pushup position; perform a pushup AND then clap hands
  • Hold hands facing each other AND sit down (or squat down) AND stand up

  • Medicine ball/weighted ball toss

“With only 15 minutes, variety is going TO BE important,” says Calabrese. “If you are doing total body FOR 15 minutes each day, you don’t want TO repeat THE exercises because you are likely only going TO HAVE time FOR one exercise per body part.” Calabrese further explains that, if you are targeting THE same body part, you are still better off using a variety OF exercises rather than repeating THE same ones. “With variety, you are challenging THE muscles just a little differently AND HAVE a better chance OF more core engagement or working THE muscle IN a more balanced way,” she says. 2848
