Denise Writes: Workout at home in 15-30min

So working out can be hard and I live in Ireland so walking and running outside can be very hard to do when its raining and really cold out, so here are some ideas of how to get a work out without trying really at home.

All the above things can burn calories and more then you think, there are some awesome work-outs and you may not even know you are burning calories.

I would also recommend that you take one half an hour to do a few simply workouts, you can do this while watching your fave TV show as time will fly by and if its longer then a half hour then that great. Simply workouts include -

5 Jumping Jacks

5 Squats
