I have to work late. I’m too tired to go to the gym before work. I have to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting. I’ll get a workout in tomorrow. I’m too stressed out. Sometimes excuses can be a lot easier to find than motivation. But guess who works out six times a week? Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

According to Fitness, she does cardio six days a week and adds in strength circuits on three of those days. If Rice can fit an intense workout into her busy schedule, I think we all can.

Now why don’t you try the strength circuit created by her trainer Thomas Tomlo? It’s an intense full body 30 minute workout. You’ll do everything from 60 second bursts of push-ups to combo moves with free weights like lunges with a lateral raise. Check out the full workout on Fitness.com.
