Crunches and Push-ups and Squats…Oh My!

ab exercise, crunchesThese three simple exercises cover most of the muscles in your upper body, lower body and your core.Research still shows that these are some of the most effective exercises to do. The cool thing is that they can be done with equipment (like an exercise ball) or without. So if you’re thinking that you don’t have enough cash for home gym equipment - well, that excuse just flew out the window. 

Oh yeah, and if you’re planning on playing the “I don’t have time” card… you could always split up your exercises if you don’t have time to do them all at once. Do your crunches before breakfast, your squats after dinner and push ups before bed. It might take 5-10 minutes. Just about everyone can find 5-10 minutes here and there. Of course, it’s easier if you do them all at once but splitting them up is better than not doing them at all. 

See, you do have time and you don’t need cash. Now is there anything else that is holding you back?
