Think you’re too busy to fit a workout program into your life? Think again! There are plenty of ways to be active throughout the day. One of my favorites is an As Many Reps as Possible (AMRAP) workout.
Do a set of exercises every hour on the hour throughout your day, performing as many reps as possible of each exercise until you can’t do it with proper form anymore. That might be five reps; that might be 50 reps. The variety it what makes it fun!
Here’s the workout:
FREQUENCY
Perform three to four times a week (every other day is fine)
DURATION
You can do them as often as you want throughout the day, but aim for at least three to four times daily. Each exercise lasts as long as you can keep proper form!
DIRECTIONS
Perform the following exercises in order, moving from one to the next with no rest once you’ve lost your form on the exercise:
Round 1: Squats
Round 2: Pushups
Round 3: Mountain Climbers
Round 4: Glute Bridges
Round 5: Chair Dips
Round 6: Planks

Keep track of your personal bests, and try to beat them every time! You’ll make progress in no time, plus you can get on with your day. How’s that for efficiency?
