Busy Body Workout: No Gym Required

Let me guess another New Year’s resolution of yours besides getting organized… How about exercise? Huh - how did I know? (Maybe because it is on my list every year, too.)

Scott Fay of Stamina Fitness Training, runs one of the best gyms in town - in my humble opinion. The atmosphere is happy and welcoming, I’m never in a style contest for ‘cutest workout outfit,’ and I always feel well-exercised and proud of myself as I leave the gym.

But what about on days when I just can’t swing the gym?

Scott has a lot of requests for what he calls “Busy Body” workouts that you can do at home - or in a hotel. Basically, these are exercises you can do around the hectic schedule of business, kids, trying to keep up New Year’s resolutions...and life in general.

Here’s a sample Busy Body Workout to get you going, and you’ll use your body weight - not kettle bells.
