Great post! What a fantastic list of work out routines! It is so important that we integrate a daily work out routine in our days schedule. Doing a total body work out has benefits in the long run as well. For example, while performing this total body workout you are building lean muscle. By doing this you are creating a system in your body that will actually burn calories even when you are NOT working out! It is so important to take care of our bodies by performing a total body work out including our core muscles. The long term effects are well worth the few minutes a day a few times a week. If you have a hard time traveling back and forth to the gym all week long, maybe a home gym would be a good option.
