Quick Ways to Work Out in the Evening Guilt-Free: How to Fit in a Workout Before You Go Out You vowed to go to the gym at lunch, only to be caught up with deadlines and meetings. Before you head out for a night of fun, here are three ways to fit in that forgotten workout and get on with your night, guilt-free. Just a few minutes: A night of dancing may be a fun way to get your cardio, but if your night out is more of the sit-and-chat kind, a few minutes is all you need to fit in a decent workout. Get your heart rate up and your cardio out of the way with one of our 10-minute workouts ; follow along on your laptop and then get on with your night. Post-work stretch: Even if you don't have time to get sweaty and take a shower, a quick toning session can work your muscles and is better than nothing. If you've got some time before you head out again, here are some after-work yoga moves that relieve stress while strengthening muscles. Break it up: Keep a set of exercises handy so you can go through them as your evening progresses. Exercise posters are ideal because you can take time to do them -- a few sets of lunges, push-ups, and jumping jacks before you head into the shower, then the rest after you get out -- so you can fit it in even if you're rushing.
