Everyday should be an exercise day! Ideally, this exercise day would include a full workout.  However, sometimes this is not possible due to time constraints. Many people run around with overbooked schedule and too many tasks to accomplish.  People should be able to squeeze in time to do at least 5 exercises that are not time consuming at all.  By breaking up the exercise time into smaller sections to get a work out, you get exercise goals accomplished that you did not think possible.  Here is a list of 5 exercises a busy and on the go person should do each day.

1. Jump Rope

Jump roping is a rigorous activity that is easily transportable. All it requires is a jump rope, sneakers and a location to jump rope. You can burn on average 11 calories per minute jumping rope.  In 10 minutes, you could burn about 111 calories. This all depends how quickly or slowly you jump rope and what your heart rate is.  This activity will burn calories instantly.  So if you are traveling out of your area or even at home, you can find 10 minutes and bring your rope with you and burn calories.

 2. Crunches

This is a problem area for almost everybody at some point. Fat loves to collect on and around abdominal muscles. However, the fat around your abs can be worked into muscle with regular crunched. Crunches should be done at least once a day. The amount you need to do depends on how many your body can take. You should start out doing 3 sets of 10. If this is not strenuous, work your way up to 15 or 20 per set. Once you get a regular routine going, you can get tone that wonderful abs.

3.   Squats

Squats are great for the gluteus maximus. You can do a squat by placing your feet shoulder with apart. Next, you slowly bend up and down while you keep you back straight & flat as a board. This is great exercise because you work your quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteals, hip flexors, and calf muscles. This will keep your legs and thighs looking really fit and toned.

 4. Lunges

Lunges work the same muscles as the squats. This will keep your legs strong and fit looking. You do lounges by keeping your back straight and bend one knee and then the next as you walk forward.  This workout usually allows you to the stretch that is taking place. You will love it.

 5. Triceps/Bicep curls

Keep your arms fit and strong. This is so important because as you get older you do not want to lose your upper body strength. By doing bicep and tricep curls once a day, you can stay fit looking and feeling fit. You can do a bicep or tricep curl by getting some weights that are not too heavy or too light for you. You may have to try out a few different weights until you find the right one for you. I suggest starting out at 5 pounds and working your way up. After doing this on a consistent basis, you will begin to see the definition on your arms.
