Welcome to my new 2023 workout series, "Give Me 5"!! I designed these workouts for all of you that are looking to add just a little more movement to your day. These quick workouts are only 5 minutes long, and each one will target a specific muscle group. 


This first "Give Me 5" is all for your legs! We start with a simple side to side stretch that doubles as an wonderful inner thigh toner, then move into some lunges and plié squats. We'll go down to the mat for some thigh and booty toning that will also work your abs! 5 whole minutes of target toning your lower body - you will really feel the burn!


It's proven that quick bursts of exercise like this throughout the day can greatly improve your health. The movement you do throughout the day will add up and to something big! I'm a big believer that you CAN find a few minutes in your day to pause and move your body! Whether it's right when you wake up, the 5-minutes before or after your lunch break, while you're waiting for dinner to cook, or even while you're watching TV in the evening. Anytime, anywhere you can do this quick routine and get your blood pumping! "Give me 5" today - I believe in you!!
