To help you find your new go-to, do-anywhere workout, we have put together a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout. It's about getting the work done in a short amount of time so that you can get to the day's activities. Short HIIT workouts like the one below can assist with increased overall athletic endurance, increase core strength, and help with
There's no need to stress about getting totally ripped up for your time on the sand—but if you want to get into the best shape possible to be able to enjoy your outdoor adventures to the fullest, you can put a few short weeks of work in at the gym and see results. With just a little pain now, you'll
If you’re tired of skipping the gym because you don’t have time, we feel you. But as long as you have a pair of dumbbells and 30 minutes, you can get your sweat on in your home, yard, or hotel room with this no-excuses routine. The point isn’t just to burn more calories in a short amount of time (which you
Whether it’s in a local stadium or a park, now is the time to research a good outdoor staircase in your hood. Incorporating stair sprints into your workout routine checks off a bunch of fitness goals at once: you’ll increase your heart rate, burn extra fat and calories, and target your lower-body muscles all at the same time.

Between work, family and friends, personal hobbies and other social commitments, many people struggle to fit fitness into their daily routine. You’ll push hard for 20 minutes to create core stability, and get a much-needed cardio benefit that’s way more effective than jogging.

Here's the thing about the relationship between time and exercise: Even if we could all find 30 free minutes each day (and it's safe to assume most of us can), we likely wouldn't use it to work out. What ends up happening: The women with a something-is-better-than-nothing attitude do a few minutes of crunches, pushups, and lunges in their living
Warm up and cool down exercises play a number of important roles in your overall fitness routine. While it may seem as if you'd be better served taking the time you normally spend doing warm ups and cool down exercises and replacing it with high intensity exercise, doing so can lead to any number of problems that might derail you
One major benefit of a push/pull plan is the increased frequency with which you hit your muscles. A typical split will see you in the gym six times a week: push/pull/legs comprises Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, which is then repeated – leaving Sunday as your day of rest.
