Are you Practicing the All or Nothing Approach?

Are you practicing the all or nothing approach to exercise? Do you figure that since you don't have enough time to complete an awesome one hour workout that you shouldn't even bother?
There are times that I let that stupid idea into my head too. But, realistically, could you take just 20 minutes and knock it out? Probably so...so no more excuses. I don't care if this is the only workout you get this week...just do it. You will feel better and maybe it will just drive you to get back to a regular schedule.

Here are some workouts you can accomplish in that amount of time:

Workout #1: Circuits...3 Rounds of 1-5...30 seconds rest between each exercise (if necessary)
1. Kettlebell Clean, Squat and Press 5-6 Reps
2. Renegade Rows 5 reps each side
3. Front/Back Lunges 8 reps each side
4. Half Turkish Get ups 2 reps each side
5. Swings 20 reps

Workout #2: Circuits...3 Rounds of 1-5...30 seconds rest between each exercise (if necessary)
1. Kettlebell Step ups 10 reps each leg
2. Inchworm Pushups 8-10 reps
3. Kettlebell Clean and Squat (1 sided) 6 reps each side
4. Slingshots 10 each direction
5. Swings 20 reps

Workout #3: Circuits: Sprints and Plyometrics...rest for 30 seconds to 1 min between each set
1. Sprint 30 seconds
2. Frog Hops 30 seconds
3. Shuffle 30 seconds
4. Leaping Lunges 30 seconds
