15 MINUTE LUNCH BREAK WORKOUT 

Did you know that your lunch break is also a perfect time for you to squeeze in a quick workout? Many are unaware of the benefits of a quick workout in the long run. Research done by David W. Hill, PhD, at the University of North Texas shows that the lunch hours might just be the best time for working out. The body strength peaks midday, hence making it the best time to put in a strength, speed, or power-based sweat workout.

Exercising during your lunch hour can be a great way to give yourself a mental break and raise your productivity and energy for the rest of the day. Unlike sleeping or resting, exercising is something many are still struggling to find time to do therefore consistency on a smaller scale can benefit you for years to come.

To do it, it is very simple; be in a standing position, lift your right leg and start moving in a circular motion about 10 times. Repeat with your left leg.

Stand apart and swing your hands to the sky, then touch the floor (in reference to body weight deadlift) (10 times).

Lastly, proceed to do shoulder drops (10 times)

After that, let us continue with the wall-sit movement, as it will be helpful to strengthen your legs and tighten up your core.

How to do it? Simple, find a wall, lean towards it and maintain your legs in a 90-degree position. Just ensure that your hips are aligned with your knees and your back is flat against the wall.

Next is a full plank shoulder tap. This movement is highly beneficial as you can experience a better, long term posture alignment. Just be in the position for 30 seconds and by doing so, it will benefit you in terms of core and arm strength, as well as your upper body.

You are already in the last five minutes of your quick lunch break workout and you are doing great so far! To wrap it up, let us do the Russian twist movement for 30 seconds, to help with your oblique and balancing movement repetition.  This is to aid better full body movement in the future.

To end your workout, proceed to do a child pose to regulate back your blood circulation for 30 seconds. This will help your shoulder muscles relax before going back to work again. Repeat all the movements for about 4 rounds.

Keep your upper body straight, shoulders back and relaxed. Always engage your core. Step forward with one leg, lowering your hips and knees bent at about a 90-degree angle. Make sure front knee is directly above your ankle, keep the weight in your heels as you push back to starting position.

Position your elbow directly beneath your shoulders. Maintain a straight body line from head to heels and make sure to squeeze your glutes and the front of your thighs. Brace your abs and hold your position for as long as you can. For a more simplified version, drop your knees down to the floor.

In a nutshell, it�s all up to you to decide what�s best for you. Working out during Ramadan has its own set of benefits and though it may seem daunting, I strongly recommend everyone to give a try. Try not to quite your exercise routine during Ramadan.
