Exercise is not everyone’s cup of tea. You get sweaty, you get tired and many of us feel we have to go to the gym to get a real workout. But there are plenty of exercises that don’t require a lot of time, space or equipment.
Lately, I’ve been doing the Prison Workout (here), a regimen of strength-building moves, including Burpees (video), planks (video) and more. It’s a pretty big challenge to complete all of the exercises, but they’re all pretty simple and straightforward, and you’ll get a whole-body workout.
The planks really intrigue me. How can you exercise if you
don’t move?! It’s one of several exercises called “isometrics” – workouts where
you tense up certain muscles and hold them to build strength in that position. Isometrics
are really good for increasing muscle mass and firming up. Read more here.
