No Gym? No Excuses!!!

Did you read that quote? Does it make sense to you? It sure does for me! So many times in my line of work I hear excuses, I don't have time, I don't like to exercise, I don't have a gym membership, I don't have any equipment at home, I have a baby, I have a husband - I've heard it all - and sure, I've used some of them myself - but in all honesty what they all really mean is that I don't care enough about reaching my goal to make it a priority. It's blunt but it's true. Once your goal or purpose becomes important enough to you, all the excuses will fall away. And if one of your excuses is that you don't have access to a gym or any equipment then the workout below is for you! It can be done in the comfort of your own home with NO equipment other than your own body. Heck, you don't even need running shoes or workout clothes so you can't even use those as excuses!!! So, if you want to, go turn some music on and get ready for a great at-home interval workout that can be done every other day!
