“I don’t have time to exercise.”

Yes, you do.

No gym?
No equipment?
No excuses!

This 15-minute workout will hit your whole body, at home, with no equipment:

Exercise is a key component of a long, healthy life.

Key benefits:

- Build muscle
- Improve mood
- Manage weight
- Increase confidence
- Improve brain health
- Improve quality of life
- Reduce risk of disease
- Increase life expectancy
- Strengthen bones and muscles
Despite all of these benefits, people don’t do it.

Most common excuse?

“No time.”

People lead busy lives, but the idea that they can’t fit in exercise is simply not true.

15 minutes a day is all you need to prioritize your health with no equipment and without leaving home.
1. Body weight squat

These develop your:

- Glutes
- Quads
- Hamstrings
- Calves
- Core

Try to get your quads parallel to the ground each rep.

Progress: slow down your reps for added resistance.

The best part? These can be done literally anywhere.
2. Push-ups

This upper-body exercise has stuck around for a reason: it works.

Push-ups develop your:

- Chest
- Shoulders
- Triceps
- Core

If you can’t do full push-ups at first, start on your knees.

Progress: move your hands closer and further apart to work different areas.
3. Pull-ups

You can do these using a door frame or a bar outside.

These develop your:

- Back
- Traps
- Shoulders
- Biceps
- Core
- Forearms

Use a chair to assist yourself if they’re too difficult at first.

Progress: wear a heavy backpack for more resistance.
4. Single-leg deadlifts

These develop your:

- Posterior chain
- Hamstrings
- Calves
- Back
- Core

The key here is to have slow, controlled movements.

Move down slowly until you feel your hamstrings stretch.

Progress: use dumbbells for extra weight.

2. Pull movement
3. Push movement
4. Hinge movement

You can change up the workout and choose different movements, just make sure you’re hitting these categories.

Here’s a few more exercise options:
Want to progress even faster?

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
