my running buddy!
The MuTu System programme gives you very effective 15 minute workouts for mums. But this morning I was in multi-tasking mood & even that seemed like too long. The dog needed walking, the bathroom needed cleaning, I still haven’t sewn in the kids’ name labels for starting school next week & that’s before I started on any actual *work* work.
So I jogged (dragging dog) at 7am this morning into the fields near my house & did this workout. I made it up on the hop & didn’t have a timer but I reckon it really wasn’t much over 5 minutes (the jog there was my warm up).
I did:
10 burpees (Substitute high knees jogging if burpees are too much, or walk / jog to keep it low impact if you’re less than 20 weeks postnatal) – click for more low impact cardio options) if you need to.
10 deep squats at good tempo (click for YouTube video of how to squat properly)
10 mountain climbers
10 press-ups with a gecko after each one (do them from your knees if you need to)
Without resting in between, & then repeated it all 5 times.
So I got in my 50 burpees (which as some of you know is a rather twisted obsession of mine), I worked upper body & lower body: chest, back, arms, shoulders, thighs, butt…. Oh & I was totally knackered for a moment there.
So next time you think you need an hour to get a workout into your day… Don’t believe it Sister 
This isn’t really enough for every workout… but hey, sometimes we only have 5 minutes. And this will get you a lot closer to looking gorgeous than most other ways to spend 5 minutes!! By the way, if you’re not sure what any of these moves are, please just leave a comment & ask!
