30 Minute Workouts When One Hour Is Too Much to Ask Okay, a show of hands please. How many of you made a New Year's resolution to get in shape? Now be honest. Are you finding it easy to stick to the resolutions you made? Many people tend to do well during the month of January; but by February many of us are already reverting back to our old ways. So, if you're one of those people whose resolution is to get in shape, what are you going to do differently than before? Here's a suggestion. How about a shorter workout? The Walk/Run Combo (40 minutes) The first step is to strap an old watch to your wrist. This way you know the exact amount of time that has elapsed. Head out for a run through your neighborhood, and, as soon as you hit the 15 minute mark, turn back. Like magic, you'll be home in a half hour. Spend an additional five minutes stretching, and you're done. The entire workout has only taken 40 minutes out of your day! Once again, this technique works well for power-walkers and for interval running. Interval running is nothing more than alternating walking with running for specific amounts of time. Start with one minute of walking followed by one minute of running and so on, until you reach 30 minutes. As you get stronger, increase the amount of running time and decrease (if you wish) the amount of walking time. Circuit Training (30 minutes + possible drive time to a gym) Start by picking one exercise for each body part. For example, bench press for chest, military press for shoulders, curls for biceps, sit-ups for stomach, etc. Set them up in your desired order and that becomes your "circuit." Do one set of each exercise and without resting, continue on to the next exercise. Once you've completed the circuit, rest for 3 minutes and do it again. Concentrate on using lighter weights and keeping your repetitions in the 12 to 15 range. If you get through each circuit in 8 minutes, and you rest for 3 minutes in between, your total workout time is 30 minutes. Add a few minutes for stretching, and you're toned and ready to face the world. Half Hour Workout Tapes and DVDs (30 minutes) Play a Sport (30 to 45 minutes) The downside to this type of workout, however, is it usually requires either another participant or specific equipment. Make sure you really like the sport before investing too much time, energy, or money into making it part of your regular workout.
