5 Workouts You can do on Your Lunch Break

You get to work at 8.

You work until 12. It’s lunchtime!

You leave work, find some grub, scarf it down, and then you’re back at your desk for 1.

By 3:00, you feel like your brain is moving through quicksand.

You make it through the rest of the day, struggling to keep your eyes open; and you finally leave the office at 5 pm. You can’t wait to take a nap when you get home.

This cycle makes every day feel like a slog. It can leave you feeling too tired to workout. And it can be a difficult cycle to break.

I know lunch time is precious… but what if you could insert a fast, rejuvenating workout into that hour? A quick workout that would get your blood pumping and your reset your brain so you could attack the rest of your workday and leave the lethargy behind?

Today, I’ll provide you 5 workouts – one for every day of the week! – that you can add to your lunch break. They all use minimal equipment so they can be done almost anywhere! And they are all 10 minutes or less, so you still have time to eat lunch and get back to work with time to spare!

Incorporate these workouts into your lunch time routine, and they will make your workday more enjoyable! Plus, they’ll provide you with more energy to harness that precious post-work time with vigor!
