15 Minute Bodyweight Workout You Can Do Anywhere

Whenever my mileage increases, the last thing I want to do is spend extra hours during the week getting in cross training. My motivation for long workouts tends to decrease whenever my runs lengthen. While running is my priority, I know that fitting in cross training each week is a must in order to stay injury free. The easiest way for me to stay motivated and consistent with my cross training is with a bodyweight workout.
