The third workout in our series focuses on biceps, triceps, and shoulders. This 10-minute circuit is genius because you can do it anywhere, you don’t need any equipment, and you are guaranteed to feel the burn. (My triceps were on fire after filming this video.)

Workouts You Can Do Anywhere: Booty

For the second video in our Workouts You Can Do Anywhere series with my friend and trainer Michelle Kuhnreich, we are focusing on my favorite body part: the booty! Since I’m a runner, I need strength and power in my lower body, and since I’m a busy mom, I need to work out those areas quickly and efficiently. At just 10 minutes long, this workout is the perfect way to tone up the legs and booty in a short amount of time. As you’ll see in the video below, this workout is made up of two quick circuits that focus on your booty, quads, hamstrings, and inner and outer thighs. As Michelle mentions, you can do the workout in 10 minutes, or you can run through it twice for an extra burn. Watch the video and check out the step-by-step instructions below, and then get to it.

Workout Gear for Every Sweat Session

If you’ve read Now & Gen for a while, you know that one of my favorite ways to blow off steam is breaking a sweat. But a workout doesn’t necessarily even have to mean hitting the gym: Carving out some time for physical activity can mean a brisk walk outside with my husband, a yoga class to clear my mind or even chasing around after the kids on our bikes. After I’ve had a good workout, my stress levels are way down and I instantly feel better. Because it’s okay to take some time for yourself doing something you love to do, and the rush of endorphins I get helps me to focus on my family and work and everything else I have going on outside the gym. Because exercise is such an important part of my life, I’ve pulled together some of my favorite new workout gear. What’s your favorite way to break a sweat? Let me know in the comments below!
