Hey, Dads! Are you tired of feeling sluggish and rundown? Do you want to start leading a healthier lifestyle but just can’t seem to find the time? Well, you’re in luck! Today, I’m going to share with you the best workouts for busy parents.

Now, before we get started, let me introduce myself. I’m Isai, and I’m a fitness enthusiast and a proud parent. And I know firsthand how hard it can be to find the time to work out, but trust me, it’s worth it! When you take care of yourself, you’ll have more energy and be a better parent, partner, employee, or (if you’re like me) a better Entrepreneur.

So, what are the best workouts for busy parents? Well, first of all, let’s start off by saying that you don’t need to spend hours at the gym. In fact, some of the most effective workouts can be done in just 30 minutes or less. And so, here are my top picks for 30 minute workouts that will give you amazing results:

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) – This type of workout combines short bursts of intense exercise with periods of rest. It’s great for burning fat and building muscle, and you can do it anywhere, anytime.

Resistance Training – Don’t be intimidated by the weight room! Resistance training, whether it’s using weights or bodyweight exercises, is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. It’s also great for improving your posture and preventing injuries.

After resistance training, we have…

Cardio – Don’t forget about your heart health! Whether it’s running, cycling, swimming, or dancing, cardio is a great way to improve your endurance and burn calories.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But Isai, I don’t have time for a full workout!” Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

Here’s a quick 10-minute workout you can do anytime, anywhere:

Warm-up – 2 minutes
You always want to start with a quick warm-up to get your heart rate up and your blood flowing. You can jog in place, do jumping jacks, or any other dynamic stretching exercise.

After your 2-minute warm up it’s time to get right into action with 1 minute of…

Push-ups – 1 minute
Get into a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your chest to the ground and push back up. Repeat for one minute.

After that, we move on to…

Squats – 1 minute
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower your hips down and back as if you’re sitting in a chair. Push back up to standing. Repeat for one minute.

Next up, is…

Lunges – 1 minute
Step forward with your right foot and lower your left knee to the ground. Push back up and switch legs. Repeat for one minute.

Now we’re going to get into the good stuff. After your lunges, it’s time for some…

Burpees – 1 minute
From standing, squat down and place your hands on the ground. Jump your feet back to a plank position. Jump your feet back to your hands and jump up. Repeat for one minute and you’re good. We’re aiming for max reps. Take your time, it’s not a race. You’re looking for one continuous motion from standing to plank and back up into a jump, if you can.

Moving it along, we have…

Mountain climbers – 1 minute
Get into a plank position. Bring your right knee towards your chest and then switch legs. Keep alternating for one minute.

A lot of people get this movement wrong. Me included. When you’re in your plank, think as if you’re marching in that plank position. That’s the movement you’re after. Methodical almost. One knee up at a time.

Once you’ve gotten your climbers out of the way, then we’re going to hit up some straight…

Plank – 1 minute
Get into a plank position and hold for one minute. If it’s too difficult after all the other movements, then you can modify by dropping to your knees. But if you’re with me and your grinding it out, hang in there. Make sure to extend your arms out in front of you as much as possible without hurting yourself.

And then for the extra burn per side, we’re going to upgrade your planks into…

Side Plank – 30 seconds on each side
Start in a plank position. You can either be on your palms or on your elbows. Believe it or not, on your elbows is a more advanced position. So if that’s where you are, then you’ll want your forearms on the ground, elbows under your shoulders, and your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.

From here, shift your weight to your right arm and rotate your body to the right, so that you’re now in a side plank position, with your right forearm on the ground, perpendicular to your body.

Stack your feet on top of each other, and raise your left arm towards the ceiling. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your feet. That’s what you’re looking for. Straight lines.

Hold the side plank for 30 seconds and then come back to plank and repeat on the other side.

So you want to lower your left arm back down, rotate your body back to center, keep your core engaged the entire time, start shifting your weight to your left arm, and finally raise your right arm towards the ceiling.

Again, remember to keep your core engaged and your body in a straight line throughout the entire movement.

Side planks are great for working your obliques and building core strength, so don’t skip this exercise!

And so once you’ve wrapped up your 30 seconds on both sides, then we’re ready for…

Cool down – 1 minute
Stretch out your muscles by doing some static stretching exercises, like hamstring or quad stretches.

So there you have it my friends… Three of the best workouts for busy people like you and me PLUS an actual workout that you can do whenever, wherever you are….
