Workout less
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, exercising in 10-minute sessions throughout the day can be just as effective for promoting health benefits as longer workouts.
The key is to make the exercise sessions intense, elevating your heart rate, and using as many muscle groups as you can. These 3 steps to a shorter workout will make sure you get the most health and fitness benefits from the exercise you do, leaving you more time to do other things…
Step 1: Up the intensity. You’ve got less time, so work your body harder. If you usually walk briskly, then step it up - break into a light jog or tackle a challenging hill instead of staying on a flat surface.
Step 2: Combine it. Rather than just concentrating on one individual muscle group, perform a full body workout. Combine arm exercises with leg exercises, and always engage your abdominal muscles throughout your workout.
Step 3: Interval train. Go hard for 20 seconds before going slow or having recovery time for 10 seconds. Repeat this pattern 20 times. For example, jog for 20 seconds, then recover with a 10-second walk or slower paced jog - then jump straight back into the jog.

Interval training is definately key: I use interval training on the treadmill at the gym I run, fast walk, slow my walk down, run again and repeat chaning the speed but keeping the resistance (Incline). It is really effective.  Posted by Sugaax! "on" 08/08 "at"01:38 AM |
