How do I Get in a workout when I dont have time

I'm asked frequently, "how do I get in a workout when I only have a few minutes" and Is it even worth my time?"

Question 1 - the best time to get in a workout is ANYTIME you can fit it in your schedule. You don’t need an hour in the gym for effective fitness. It’s cumulative. Meaning, you get in 10 minutes a couple of times, or even one time, and you will keep your metabolism burning throughout your day.

Question 2 - Yes its worth your time. Not only do you kick up your metabolism, but another benefit to the quick workout is increased energy levels. Your blood is flowing, your oxygen intake increases, its like a cup of coffee without the caffeine.

You also get 10 or so minutes of "you" time in to clear your mind and regroup with your workout.

Why do I need Supplements

Hey team

Bottom line: Many people just aren't meeting the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals. And even people that eat plenty of fruits and veggies don't either, thanks to current farming practices and mass food production.

And here's a really interesting study from the Journal of the American Medical Association that states, "it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."

(Check out the study on their website here: http://tinyurl.com/jama-vitamins )

Additionally, a high-quality multi-vitamin supplement may help:

To prevent diseases
Get the RDA of vital nutrients

Combat nutrient deficiencies in foods

Promote consistent nutrient intake

Long story short: A great way to provide your body with the nutritional foundation you need each day is a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin.
