At Home HIIT Workouts #noexcuses
Being a single mom, that works full time, and has a side hustle I know how hard it can be to make time for the gym. Not to mention, we may not always have the finances for said gym membership. Then to add on childcare?! Forget about it.
So what do you do when you sit here longing to be happier, healthier, and in better shape?
You get off your *ss and do the damn thing! #noexcuses

Let's take a moment to talk about some alternatives to the gym...
Go hiking
Go for a walk, jog, or run
Do yoga or Tai Chi
Swim laps in the pool
Dance
Martial arts
Clean or wash the car
Play a sport
Go for a bike ride
Personally, I enjoy getting out for a nice hike, practicing a little yoga, or taking a nice dip in the pool to swim some laps.
There are also plenty of exercises you can do at home! I've included a few of my simple at home HIIT workouts below. Take a look and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear and see any results y'all may have after doing these.
