Sticking to a workout routine can be a challenge. Beginning a physical fitness routine can be even more challenging. Lethargy and lack of motivation aside, a lack of space and time are two of the primary deterrents to a healthy lifestyle for most people. But now, lack of access to gyms and large grounds can no longer be an excuse. Thanks to fitness trainer Kayla Itsines, now you can perform easy yet effective exercises in the comfort of your home. The expert has now shared a video of a ten-minute exercise routine. The best part is that you do not need any equipment to perform these exercises.
