I’ve been reflecting on how quickly my lifestyle has changed over the last couple of months and with university, new friends, S and family time, I’ve realised one thing... I’ve barely had enough time to workout!
For as long as I can remember, exercise had always been an integral part of my day. It not only nourishes me physically but also mentally as well as I get to reflect on my thoughts and feelings during that one hour.
So I sat down and tried to analyse why I fell out of my exercising habit. I noticed that though I adapted my mindset to the changes in my busy new lifestyle, I had completely left out my workout routine from it. Plus, my original workout plan seemed too daunting which demotivated me to exercise altogether.
So, to get me back on track I’ve created a new workout schedule that only requires half that time – yup, only 30 minutes per day! So I challenge anyone who’s ever complained about being “too busy to workout” to join me on Fru Fru Shru’s “1-Week Busy Bee Challenge”. So who’s with me? Let’s go!

The exercises I’ve listed are all pretty simple. If you need help with any of them, you can do an online search for photos and details instructions on how to do each one.
