For some reason it's been tough to blog this week. It's been busy at work, and I also think this weather is impacting my mood and energy level. It's been raining every day here in Boston and it's cold. I just want to crawl up on the couch with a blanket to watch a movie. But I was able to exercise yesterday and that helped me get going again.

This exercise routine is a great routine on busy days. It's a fat burning routine that works every muscle, but doesn't take a long time to do.

Do this exercise and time yourself. Push yourself to cut down on your time every time you do the routine. But remember form before speed. Make sure you do every move the right way and don't rush it for the time's sake.

Have fun!
