When's the last time you went to the gym or exercised? And when's the last time you actually enjoyed exercise or had the time to fit it into your hectic schedule?

Whether you’re a busy mum, single lady with an up and coming career or full-time entrepreneur, figuring out how to fit exercising and keeping healthy into your daily routines can be hard.

How do you balance personal excuses, schedules and life in general so that you can get the body you want in the least amount of time?

And… how do you make sure that you actually STICK to exercising… stick to workouts that help you lose weight, are less than 30 minutes and without the need for annoying weights?

Both of these things require the right knowledge and can be tricky to implement and manage within your already busy schedule.

In this hands-on, relaxed and action-packed book, Lise Cartwright explains how you can get the body you want, in 30 minutes or less, without having to step foot in a gym or purchase expensive weights and equipment.

By using examples from her own personal experiences, she shows the reader how to get a toned body while also creating time to fit exercising into busy schedules.

In this how-to guide, the reader will be given:

- Total Body Workouts to help you quickly achieve a toned body in 30 minutes or less
- 30-Day Programs to help kick-start your exercise program and develop the habit
- Lifestyle Hacks that will provide you with ways to stay fit and healthy, no matter what you do on a day-to-day basis

No Gym Needed is concisely written with your busy scheduled in mind, and it teaches and shows you how to get the body you want no matter whether you’re an entrepreneur, full-time mum and career women, college student, or anyone who loathes going to the gym.

Don’t let your busy schedule and gym loathing stop you from having the body you deserve… take action, follow the book’s steps, and enjoy your new body and lease on life.

For as long as I can remember magic has been a part of my life.

I’m not talking about the ‘make-an-elephant-disappear’ or ‘pull-the-rabbit-from-the-hat’ type of magic – although that’s cool – I’m talking about the magic of relationships.

Like when you kiss a soulmate for the first time, or hang out with friends and bond over yummy pizza and a rom-com movie. Or when you break up with someone you cared about and got relationship advice from your parents while your heart mended.

That type of magic.

And coming from a family of five, I grew up competing with my brothers for computer time and video games (as long as they were of the driving variety!). Gamer girl and tech geek in my family. Did I mention I had a competitive streak?

Following university, I fell into many varied office-based jobs – insert boring title here! No job ever filled me with passion, so I looked to the web for something that would provide a challenge and a way to replace my day job!

I found a great community and training site called Location Rebel, where I could learn everything I needed to make my own way in the world. I started there in August 2011, by June 2012, I’d quit my day job and moved into full time freelance writing!

With some of the expertise I gained from working for 15+ years on real life writing projects (read, boring administration jobs!), I founded my own company, determined to bring what I had on offer to similarly minded people who were still in the dark regarding freelance writing and making a successful career out of it, but in a meaningful way.

I’ve been called many things, some not worth mentioning here, but really, I’m just good at connecting with people. Showing people that they can do this or anything they put their mind to.

Great advice for anyone looking to lose a few pounds, tone up, or simply stay active during their busy lives. Al without having to endure the inconvenience of a gym.

This book is easy to read and full of useful tips and information. It even has workout diagrams for people who want to skim ahead to the visual.

The length of the book is pretty good. Enough detail to get the job done without it getting boring. The author's anecdotes scream, “Been there, done that. Had the trainer laugh at me at the gym.”

Lise has tread the ground she's helping you walk.

Great book—sure to help plenty of ladies avoid the gym while they burn the calories.

A really solid, informational book that gives the reader a blueprint about how to have a gym free workout!

Not everyone loves going to the gym when they have an free hour here and there, so this book is the perfect solution.

Lise has done a magnificent job of detailing exactly the kind of workouts that you can do in 30 mins a day from the comfort of your own home.

I can't believe how much time this book has saved me. Being in college, working out is not something I have time to do when studying for a test or writing my 10th 15 page paper for the semester. Not to mention, living on a budget doesn't include a gym membership. Cartwright is an incredible author and really knows her stuff. If you want to see results and maintain a healthy weight, then you should get yourself a copy of this book. Definitely one of my better investments.

Good Information Workouts Included!

The most difficult thing I find about getting a workout routine in is trying to remember what to do next. With a great variety of workouts included with this book plus the PDF link sent my life is much simpler. I now reach for my workout clothing as I roll out of bed and JUST DO IT!

For all its volume, this book deaparately needed some pictures and not just page after page of repeteated exercise names and their duration. To be fair, the author points you to her website and gives you a special login, but if I wanted a website, there are plenty around...

There are workouts that are good for on the go and little to no equipment. I liked it, and plan on trying some of these.

This book is so helpful for those of us who don't have money or time to join a gym. I feel like the author knows exactly what we need to get us moving and exercising again. Thanks!

Yet another novel approach to fitness. This is very down to earth and actually sounds workable. I'm going to read it again.
