Five Minute Workouts
These are workouts you can do in five minutes! They are a great warm up or start to your day. Most require no equipment and no training partner. A great way to get in shape in the time you have!
I recommend doing one of these each morning or if you have the time do two. Great start to the day. Do a level 2-4 and then a level 5-9 for a good mix of difficulty.
