Short on Time? Maximize Your Workout!
If you’ve ever had only 30, 20, or even 10 minutes to break a sweat and wondered if it’s worth it—it is. There’s a common misconception that hitting the gym for hours on end is the only effective way to exercise. Not only is that completely unrealistic, but it makes working out seem like such a chore. It basically makes “I don’t have enough time” the perfect excuse not to exercise, when the truth is, a brief, but high-intensity session can be all it takes to get your heart pumping, boost your energy levels, and help you feel awesome.
Whether you’re trying to squeeze in a quick sweat before work or just can’t stand the thought of spending an hour on the elliptical (again), here’s how to optimize your workout routine when you’re pressed for time.
