To make those quick workouts even more effective, you want to make use of interval training and hybrid movements.

Intervals and hybrid exercises combined will allow you to burn more calories in less time and work more muscle groups at once to build full-body strength.

Set a timer for 30 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Move from one exercise to the next, resting 10 seconds between moves. Complete 4-6 rounds of the circuit. Beginners may want to rest an extra 30-60 seconds between rounds.

CIRCUIT:

30 seconds Skier Hop Burpee

10 seconds Rest

30 seconds Lateral Crawl Spiderman

10 seconds Rest

30 seconds Split Squat Pulse Jump

10 seconds Rest

True true! Save time for general steps. Some are errands, some a morning intentional, some are weekend blasts. Exercise really doesn’t need to be more than 50-60 minutes. There is a reason for that in general, not for sports or activities, but pliability of muscle strength and conditioning only can do so much in one day then you break muscle down, twist fibers inappropriately. It’s simply not necessary to be in the gym endlessly. HIIT workouts are amazing
