Ask Rocco: Five Exercises to a Better Body
One local workaholic wants to trade in their busy body for an athletic body. Rocco explains which five exercises will keep the body trim and toned on a skinny schedule.

Question: Hey, Rocco.. I lead an extremely busy life with my career. I travel a lot and on top of that have a family to take care of. I find no time to get into the gym. I did buy a treadmill, but of course, I hardly ever use it! What kinds, if any, of exercises can I do in the little bit of time I have.

Answer: Slow down, I think you’re going to have an aneurysm. I love when people tell me they’re too busy to workout because I tell them that they better get a lot done because they’ll be dead in a few short years. Everyone has excuses, and I can’t stand excuses because if you can’t find 30 minutes out of your day to get a workout in, you’re full of shit. I wish I could use the verbiage I would normally say. So here’s the rundown, busy bee. Five exercises. That’s right, you read it right, five exercises. And if you’re blind, I’ll say it a little louder, FIVE EXERCISES. All you need to stay in some sort of decent shape is five exercises. 1) Lunges (same leg) 25 reps 2) Jumping Jacks (50 reps) 3) Push-up or negative push-ups (as many as you can do) 4) Arm Circles 5) Criss-cross crunches. If you don’t know how to do any of these exercise, please feel free to go to my Web site www.askrocco.com to view video of the exercises. Now, stop making stupid excuses and get to working out.
