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. And who
Elevate your abs sessions way above the plankers with the fiendish toes-to-bar move. Learn these four progressions and you’ll raise the standard of your core workouts for good. This is on the trickier end of bodyweight moves, so training and strengthening each position of the rep will clean up your form when they’re put together. They can also serve as warm-ups once you’ve mastered
For many people, stretching is just one that you try to skimp on whenever you can. You know you're supposed to do it, but still, somehow it's the thing you always "forget" to do and decide you'll get to later (and then never do).

What's the best big lift you can do for the upper body? If your gut reaction says either bench press or military press, perhaps you need to start focusing a bit more on pulling than pushing. Truth is, the classic barbell row will give any upper-body exercise a run for its money in terms of developing pure strength and piles of muscle. In
High-intensity interval training is efficient—workouts are under half an hour and often just a few minutes. And they’re effective. HIIT improves athletic endurance, strengthens the heart and cuts body fat. Fortunately, the high intensity doesn’t have to mean high impact. Lower-impact exercises are great for people with knee or ankle injuries, or anyone heading back into the gym after a
Let’s face it: Finding the time to exercise is often a lot harder than your actual workout. Between work, family and friends, personal hobbies and other social commitments, many people struggle to fit fitness into their daily routine.
