Do what you can. Don't do what you can't. Sounds obvious, but we are so conditioned to having an all or nothing attitude that we carry that attitude into our workouts. Thus we don't do anything, because we can't do it well. And we don't reap any benefits either.

That's a lead in to this Do-it-yourself kind of workout. Do what you can of it. If you don't have some of the equipment or can't do all of the exercises, or all of the sets, or all of the reps then just do what you can.

Here's the exercises:
Pushups: If you can't do a regular pushup then do them on your knees. This video shows a ton of variations. Start simple and then get crazy.














Crunches: Basic and straight forward. This is a good video to make sure that you're doing them correctly.

Jumprope: Jumping rope is a skill that can be initially very frustrating, but is well worth the effort and patience.


Jumping Jacks: Are great to do after your jump rope or as a substitute if you don't have one.


Pullups: If you have a pull up bar great, but if you don't here's a modified clever version.



Plyos: Do each of the lateral, box, and vertical jumps. If the cone and the bench are too high to start for you then jump over a peanut or something. I don't care. Just make the motions the best you can.


Do each of these exercises in order with no rest between each exercise until you have done them all. Start with twenty reps each of pushups and crunches. Immediately follow those with the jump rope. Do that for 5 minutes. That can be 5 very frustrating minutes but remember you are learning a new skill. Follow that by a minute of jumping jacks. Then do sets of ten of pullups and each of the three plyos you see in the video. To complete all of the exercise should take you about 10 to 15 minutes. Rest a minute and repeat 2 more times.

There you have a pretty inexpensive home full body, fat burning, muscle toning, get in shape workout. Do what you can, not what you can't. . . at first. But always challenge yourself to do more. Add some of those kids crazy push-ups. Jump rope for ten minutes and learn some new turns of the rope. Add reps. Add sets. Find creative ways to add weight. Give your body a reason to change. Results must follow. Enjoy.
