Want to get your sweat on, but only got 15-20 minutes? A lot of people would claim defeat for the day and try again tomorrow. A lot of people would do that. You don’t have to one of them. Tomorrow never comes. Don’t use time (or lack thereof) as an excuse. It’s amazing what you can accomplish in 20 minutes.

To achieve an effective workout in 20 minutes you need to abide to 1 rule – don’t waste time. That means no checking your phone, no toilet breaks, no distractions of any kind. It’s 20 minutes of pure unadulterated exercise. Embrace it. Enjoy it. Get it done.

And it couldn’t be simpler. 2 exercises. Performed back to back to back, until all the designated reps are finished.

• High Knees
• Mountain Climbers

Begin with 100 reps of each exercise. Take a 10-20 second recovery break. Then drop down to 90 reps each. Continue reducing reps by 10 each time until 0. That’s it. Simplicity thy name is [insert a more humorous or intelligent name for workout than the one I came up with here – outside of the allotted workout time of course].

Great fat burner, great cardio (without having to brave the winter cold), great ‘fun’…
