Get Fit in Just 15 minutes
Short of time? Feeling a little lazy? Want to get a session of exercise in quickly? Then you have come to the right place, yes you really can have an effective workout in just fifteen minutes.
However, you need to be prepared to work for it as there will be no rest periods (or at least very few) as high intensity for a short period of time can do wonders for your health.
A 2014 published study in the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health & Fitness Journal stated that; “A simple, fast, high-intensity workout — finished in as little as seven minutes — will produce many of the same benefits as a good run and trip to the weight room.”
This adds substantial weight to the argument that shorter, high intensity workouts can yield greater results than slow and steady conventional aerobics due to shorter more intense workouts leading to improved exercise capacity.
The reason for this is because scientific studies have shown that even small levels of intense exercise boost the production of ‘mitochondria’ which are effectively the cell’s batteries which enhance muscle endurance.
What exercises should I do?
There are a number of quick routines you can do for maximum benefit; for example, one routine could be as follows: -
*Using a Treadmill*
1-minute sprint
90-second recovery
1-minute sprint at 3% incline
90-second recovery
1-minute sprint at 6% incline
90-second recovery
1-minute sprint at 9% incline
90-second recovery
1-minute sprint at 12% incline
90-second recovery
However, if you do not have access to a gym, then a workout such as this would be of benefit: -
1. Burpees
2. Mountain climbers
3. Jumping jacks
Complete the routine 3 times performing 10 reps the first time, 15 the second and 20 the third with a minute rest in-between.
The important thing to remember is to keep active and raise the heart rate quickly and effectively.
Now absolutely no one has the excuse that they do not have the time to exercise!
