• Plan ahead- What’s the use of your room? Make plans on what kind of style you want for your room.
• Keep the Clutter Out- Leave out all the small things and put away everything in it place
• Furniture- Make sure you have size appropiate furniture in your room. You don’t want to have a king size bed in a guest room!
• Decor- Make sure your accents coordinate well, these will help with the “size” of your room.
• Color- Use art to have some color on your walls, think vibrant color and accents!

For your 30 minute exercise you’ll do circuit training.

Circuit training is short bursts of resistance exercise using moderate weights and frequent repetitions, followed quickly by another burst of exercise targeting a different muscle group.

You’ll be working various exercises for shorter amounts of time but at higher resistance. Remember it’s only 30 minutes, you can do it! Here’s a great sample of a good 30 minute circuit training exercise!

* 30 seconds of squats
* 30 seconds on a stationary bike, or jogging in place or on a treadmill

* 30 seconds of lunges (watch those knees!)
* 30 seconds of cycling or jogging

* 30 seconds of chest presses on a weight bench or sturdy table
* 30 seconds of cycling or jogging

* 30 seconds of bent-over rows on a weight bench or sturdy table
* 30 seconds of cycling or jogging

* 30 seconds of shoulder presses (push your arms straight overhead with palms facing out)
* 30 seconds of cycling or jogging

* 30 seconds of biceps curls
* 30 seconds of cycling or jogging
