4 minute fitness workouts can really help you out if:

  • You struggle with consistently getting in your workouts and can’t seem to make it a habit
  • You’re currently overwhelmed with everything else and you truly believe you just can’t find the time to workout

I was discussing this with a friend of mine the other day. I’ve been helping her with her program the last couple of weeks and she’s starting to do really well with her nutrition plan.

However, she’s really been struggling with her exercise program. She’s just not working out consistently. If you don’t workout consistently it’s never going to become a habit, making it a part of your daily routine.

So, I suggested a very simple (but not easy) way of getting in a fitness workout every day so that it eventually becomes a habit.

You combine two aspects of training:

  • High intensity interval training
  • A bodyweight exercise

Here’s what you do.

Each day, roll out of bed and spend 3 to 8 minutes exercising. No exercise equipment needed. Select one good bodyweight exercise such as burpees or mountain climbers.

Do the exercise as hard as you can for 20 seconds. Then rest for 10 seconds and repeat for 3 to 8 intervals.

Now, depending on your conditioning you may not be able to do this. It will also depend on how difficult the exercise is.

For example, full burpees with the push up and the jump, are much more intense than regular push ups.

So, for an exercise like burpees, or jump squats, or mountain climbers, you may need to make adjustments, such as 15 seconds of exercise, followed by 30 or 45 seconds of rest.

Perform a different exercise each day.

If you think you have on time or you just struggle with your motivation to get in a good workout, try this fitness workout.

Once you get into a rhythm you can begin expanding your workouts a couple of ways:

  • Add a little equipment to expand your exercise base. This means something as simple as dumbbells, a kettlebell, a weighted exercise bar or even resistance bands. Or a solid pull up apparatus you can stick in a door frame.
  • Start adding more to your workout. Since a true high intensity interval training program of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off of an exercise like burpees is brutal, you may need to begin making adjustments to that as well.

If you have “no time” or just struggle to stay consistent and get in your fitness workouts, try these 4 minute fitness workouts as part of your day.

And yes, you should warm up first. Get yourself going with some simple moves like arm circles, jumping jacks, a few bodyweight squats, etc. before attacking the intervals.
