A Quick Workout for a Busy Fall Season

During the busy months of September and October, students go back to school and individuals return to their jobs. Along the way, many often disregard the most important aspects of living a balanced life, such as self-care and exercise. We use our lack of time as an excuse to not centre our minds and bodies in these natural, health-boosting activities. 

Exercising is so important and the multitude of benefits that come with it are extremely beneficial. We have created a 10-15 min workout that you can squeeze into your occupied schedule. If you have any injuries or health conditions, consult with your physician before attempting to perform these exercises. 

**There are instructions included for less familiar exercises. If you are unsure of the how-to of an exercise, search it up and ensure that it is a credible source.
