3 workouts to do in under 20 minutes
Workouts that last under 20 minutes aren’t just great for busy people, they’re great for people with a no fuss approach to exercise. Sure, you could run on a treadmill for 15 minutes, jump on the elliptical bike for another ten, do a hundred push ups and the collapse into a broken heap. For some reason, this is the way many people decide to train.
However, it is now evident that high-intensity interval training or ‘HIIT’ is proven to be one of the best ways to burn more calories and keep fit.
Personal trainer and fitness coach Amelia Phillips says ‘Short, hard workouts are proving to be a very efficient way to get results, but you've got to be prepared to push yourself harder than a normal workout,’
