When you’re short on time, these 5 minute exercises intersperse throughout the day can keep your metabolism and energy up!  Do one activity for 5 minutes or mix them up.

• Squatting.  Standing in front of a chair, touch your hips to a chair (as if you are going to sit in it) and then stand back up.
• Push-ups.
• Rope-less Jumping.  Just like when you a kid, but minus the rope.
• Side jumping (just like jump roping, but moving to your right and left)
• High marches in place (knees high and pumping arms)
• Lunges in place (stagger your feet forward and back.  Drop the back knee to the floor.  Return to the staggered stance).  Be sure to switch legs.
• Dance – however you’d like – there’s no audience!
• Heel Raises.  Simply raise up on toes.
• Band exercises

Any movement strengthens the body.  Just keep movin’!
