A Training Tip Every Busy Woman Will Love – And 2 Free Workouts!
I get it. Sometimes, life happens.
Even the best-laid plans fall by the wayside on occasion, maybe on lots of occasions! You sleep in, a meeting goes overtime, the kids need you, you get distracted on Facebook … and next thing the 45-60 minutes you’d planned to easily allow for your workout is starting to look more like 30 minutes. Maybe even 15.
“Stuff it”, you decide. “I just don’t have time today; it will have to wait”
And you’re annoyed at yourself or your boss or partner or the world or maybe you’re just resigned and frustrated.
Either way – and most relevantly here – you’re not working out, not moving that body, stimulating metabolism and digestion and fat loss and energy and that sense of achievement and pride which we all need a bit of a daily dose of.
And if you’re not careful, that one busy day becomes the story of your life and next thing a few weeks have passed and you’ve barely managed an accumulated couple hours of walking let alone anything you could truly call a solid workout.
The good news? There is a solution, and it doesn’t have to require you getting up at 5am each day in order to make your workout happen!

It doesn’t have to take an hour, not even 40 minutes. A ‘solid’ gym sculpting workout, like the 12+ months worth of home and gym video programs in my Look Great Naked Training Plan, does indeed take 40-50 minutes. BUT – it’s not that or nothing.
In my training plan I also have over 20 bonus workouts included that take 15 minutes or less and some can even be done in 5!
Is this enough when it comes to training for results?
Well, it depends what you mean by result.
It’s not enough if you want to be a fitness model or figure competitor, but it sure as heck is enough to get the ball rolling, and really that’s what we’re after here. Getting the ball rolling means:
- get you moving
- feeling confident and positive about the fact that you took time for yourself
- stimulating digestion
- deeper breathing
- improved energy through the day
- more motivation to make good food choices as you’ve started the day well
- you get rid of the guilt and ‘wish i haddas’
- and lastly, you will spike your metabolism and move your body toward fat burning rather than sit-on-your-ass-getting-more-stressed-and-fat-storing!
That’s right, as little as 5 minutes of working out can and does impact your metabolism and fat loss potential for the better.
Here’s an example of an ‘under 15-minute’ Rapid Fat Loss Session from my training plan.
In the plan I provide workout options for at home (using minimal or even no equipment) as well as workout options for the gym.
2 sample rapid fat loss sessions for you to try today!
This is a sample ‘at-home’ rapid fat loss session, and gives you an example of how I suggest you do your fat-loss/sweat training.
Okay, so that is probably one workout from my fast-workout sessions that would take a little over 15-minutes if you’re not familiar with training at this intensity. But of course you can halve the quantities to begin with and still reap ALL the benefits of kick-starting that body of yours!
For a quicker option still, try this one –
Remember that the biggest hurdle of getting a solid training pattern underway is just getting started and being consistent in those first few weeks.
And whilst I love a ‘big’ gym or home training session when I have the time, I’m also practical enough to recognise that sometimes you gotta work with what you got and it absolutely still counts.
So whether you think that once you get the habit going you’d like to include longer workouts or whether you’re just thrilled at the idea that even 5-15 minutes can make a difference, make up your mind to start today. No matter how much life is happening all around you 🙂
