Insane Bodyweight Workout for Busy Moms

The best for busy moms to stay in shape is to use Bodyweight workouts. This makes sense because busy moms are always on the go, and bodyweight training can be performed anywhere.

For the following workout, perform each exercise for the recommended repetitions as a circuit. A circuit is where perform 2 or more exercises back to back with little to no rest in between each set.

Try to complete as many rounds as possible within a 15 minute time frame. Now, if you have more time, you can do a longer workout. Vice versa if you have less time, then keep the workout shorter.

Exercise #1: Inch Worm 25 Feet

Get down into squat position and place your hands on the ground. Walk your hands forward until your in a push up position. Snap your legs back up so that you are back into squatting position with your hands on the floor.

Exercise #2: Quad Squat, 10 repetitions

This is a pretty difficult movement to explain. The main idea is to perform a pushup and squat at the same time. Get into squat position and place your hands on the floor. Straighten your back so that it’s parallel to the floor.

Now bend your elbows and knees at the same time, bring your body towards the ground. Bring it as low as possible, then press back up to starting position.

Exercise #3: Jump Squat, 10 repetitions

From the squat position, simply jump up and catch air.

As you can see, each movement easily leads into the next movement. For the inch worm, you do not need to measure a distance of 25 feet. You can easily use your own height as a distance.

For example, I’m 5′5″, so around 4-5 repetitions would cover a distance of 25 feet.
