You don’t need to hire a personal trainer or even hit the gym to get fit. Try this quick at-home routine and use your own body weight for resistance (11 Photos)

By using your own body weight as resistance and allowing only 30 seconds of rest between each exercise, you'll get your heart rate up and tone your body all in 30 minutes. You could even squeeze it in while the kids are taking a nap.
For best results, perform this routine three times a week for three weeks, making sure to increase intensity (the number of reps in each one-minute timeframe) each week. Two days a week, you will need to put in 30 minutes of cardio or yoga. After a couple of weeks, you should start feeling stronger, have more energy and notice your clothes feeling looser.
