Even though I work at a gym, there are days when I’m so busy that fitting in my own workout feels almost impossible. Some days I’m tempted to just skip it altogether… but instead of throwing in the towel, I remind myself: “So what if you only have 20 minutes? Make those 20 minutes count!” 💪⏱️
Monday was my upper-body workout day, and I only had 25 minutes total. After using 5 minutes to warm up, that left me with just 20 minutes for the workout itself.
I picked 5 upper-body exercises and challenged myself to complete as many rounds as possible in those 20 minutes. Normally I like to get in 4 rounds, but this time I completed 3 rounds with 10–12 reps of each exercise. Because I kept moving at a quicker pace, my heart rate stayed elevated too — an added bonus! 🔥❤️
The point is this: just because you can’t fit in a full 45-minute or 1-hour workout doesn’t mean you should do nothing. Something is ALWAYS better than nothing. 🙌
In this video, I’m demonstrating 4 exercises you can do even if you’re short on time. If you’re at the office or can’t make it to the gym, try setting a timer for 15–20 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete. You’ll still accomplish something, and chances are, you’ll feel so much better afterward. 😊

Consistency is key. Do what you can, when you can. Every little bit counts! 👟💥
