I feel you. It's getting way to hot to run outside or even to walk through that sweltering gym parking lot.

Check out these gymless workout options, so you can tighten up without melting down.

Push-ups. You can fit at least 30 a day, easy. They can be done anywhere, anytime. Yes, that means in a hallway or in the kitchenette waiting for your popcorn to pop. Afraid people will stare in disgust? Suck it up. The only person you have to worry about is yourself. People’s opinions of you will always change. Do yourself a favor, lets see a few push-ups.

Squats. Same goes for squats. Shoot for 100 a day. Great for core, booty and the general buns and thighs. Squats are the go-to for the pussy who isn’t man enough to get down and dirty into push-up position. You can even play this one off like you were just picking something up, nobody will even know you’re sneaking a workout in. Just keep squatting away while waiting for that popcorn and when someone walks in, whistle innocently. 

Cardio. Yes, it is possible!  Try this:

1 minute squat jumps

1 minute high knees

30 seconds hop on one foot 30 seconds hop on the other foot

1 minute mountain climbers

1 minute burpees.

It’s only 5 minutes. I guarantee a tighter tummy and sweaty armpits! Take a break after each five minute round and try to do it three times.  Easy, fast. Get it done.

Posture. If you can’t do anything, you can always be improving your posture. This means engaging your core and drawing your shoulders down and back. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head. This will tighten your core without even noticing and will also prevent back and postural issues later in life! Practice better posture as you walk, sit, stand and eat.

Yoga. Yoga benefits everyone, especially men, who tend to under stretch and have incredibly tight hamstrings and hip flexors. Look up a yoga flow on YouTube. You’d be surprised how challenging some poses are. Yoga gets intense mofos. Lately, I’ve been having fun working on handstands and other balance poses – great for core, all around muscle tone and gets your heart rate up a little.

If it’s important to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse. Every day brings another chance. The harder the challenge, the better the opportunity. Live passionately – go hard, dream big!
