Do you have any body weight exercise options that are short (less than 10 minutes) workout suitable for morning exercise? I usually go with the 7 min workout, but I want to vary a bit.

I like doing squats, sometimes with a 5 pound weight in each hand which I lift as I go down into the squat. That’s two exercises in one. Jumping Jack’s is also very good and easy to do under normal circumstances. I am new to yoga and find it very challenging.

Hasfit.com has great workout videos for free! I love working out with these videos. You can search by length of time, body area/muscle group, difficulty level, and what kind of weight you want to use (body weight, dumbbell, kettle bell, etc.). I highly recommend them!

I don’t do body weight excersise but I do walk in the morning before school and after. I walk for about five minutes. I don’t really time myself but I am pretty sure that is five minutes or less or a minute more.

Fitocracy has some great options, but just choosin 10 squats, toe touches, push ups, side lunges (each side) and a 30-second plank is my go-to.

I love Lumowell videos for aerobic and strength training. Free on You Tube, easy to follow and several time limit op toons.

Turning is the most effective way to lose weight. Turn wine into water Turn beer into tea or coffee Turn processes good into fresh food. Turn 5 a day into 10 a day

I use an app called workout for women, it has different workout and some are long and some are short. I suggest you check that out or find a similar app

exerciseHIIT circuits are simple and fast, if you trying to do seven minutes pick like two or three exercises and do like 20 seconds each with like a 30 second rest in between sets till you reach 7 minutes. Yesterday a trainer taught me a trick called the deck of death, and basically you take a deck of cards and assign each suit a exercise what ever number you draw that’s how many you do and just do it through out the day to get yourself moving. Hope that helped 💜

I usually skip the bus and walk to work. This makes it easy for me to stick with it, since I just need to leave the house a few minutes earlier.

Yes!! You should visit the site Darebee.com. It’s a free nonprofit website that specializes in providing body weight only exercises. They also have programs specific for general daily exercise, working your back & core, abs, cardio, and daily challenges. They’re all free and they’re all body weight based. And they usually don’t ever take that long. The website has routines, pictures, and instructions. Also, if you get into or are thinking about it, I suggest reading the “Get started” info. I didn’t and just got started... then I had to go back and read it. It was so much more helpful to read it because it explained their philosophy, how their exercises should be run, and their thought process on how the workouts were designed. Hope this helps!
