Bantam workouts
Hello everyone!
Bantam rooster-bantams are a small breed of poultry of which the males are known for being particularly aggressive.
Today I wanted to share a sample of a different style of workout that I've been making.
They are short, compact, and intense, so I'm calling them "Bantam Workouts."
Realistically, some days we feel like even setting aside 20-30 minutes for a workout is an impossibility. But 5 minutes to work out? That sounds possible, right?
The next time you want to work towards your goal of exercising on a consistent basis, but you're having trouble fitting in a workout that day, try my Bantam Workout below!
You can do one round for 5 minutes, or repeat the workout 3-4 times total, resting in between rounds so that when you are working you are working hard maintaining good form.
Give it a try, I think that you'll find these workouts really pack a punch!
