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). All it takes, though, is a couple of minutes of stretching to reap the long-term benefits of increased mobility
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.

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
Butt workouts are where it’s at, and even a 5 minute butt workout is no exception. Having a strong butt is just as important as having a strong core, it is essential for performance and function. Strong glute muscles will help you run faster, lift heavier, and squat better too. The quick 5 minute butt workout routine below targets your
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. The push/pull plan also allows you to introduce microcycles in your training.
Cold-weather runs have their place in every exercise repertoire—but they’re not the only (or the most effective) way to sweat outdoors when the temps drop. Plus, on snowy days, you need something a little more low-impact that will also leave your muscles burning under all of those layers. Here, we created a fun, barre-inspired total-body toning workout that you can
A true landmine apparatus looks like a baseball diamond with a hinged tube on top into which you simply insert the end of an Olympic bar and get to work.
