Today's workout consists of 3 short treadmill sessions spread throughout my day: morning, lunch, evening. Only 15 minutes each! Yippee, sort of. This gets me off my butt away from this computer and provides a nice escape from all the stuff in my head that needs to be completed.
I don't always have a full hour or more to complete a workout. This is why I split mine up into multiple, short, & Intense ones throughout the day. This energizes me throughout the day and I find I get more accomplished when I do this too. It is fun to kick ass for 15-20 minutes and give myself a little praise for it being completing it! Treadmill, Bike, Rower, outside...complete wherever and using whatever you have available: 5 minute - Increase intensity every minute 1 minute - Sprint (pick up the pace, should be breathing hard at end of this minute 1 minute - Slow it down (walk, or stop completely, breathing should slow down) Repeat 1min x 1min four more times Try to complete this once, twice, or three times today. After all, it's only 15 minutes.
