As always curious about how to get more done in less time. I found out this wonderful article in Yahoo health.....
Pulse Training
In just 20 mins you can burn calories of 1 hrs workout time.
you must be thinking this is some kind of gimmick.
Nope this is not..Fortunately this is true....
"Pick any cardio you like (running, swimming, the elliptical trainer). Warm up for 2 minutes at a moderate pace, then sprint for 30 seconds at the highest intensity you can muster. Slow down and do 90 seconds at a catch-your-breath recovery pace. Repeat eight times. You'll torch more calories in less time, while you burn fat faster. Follow this cardio session with a few of the following fast firmers for a total-body workout in less than 30 minutes".(Yahoo Health)
Tighten your tummy: 10 to 12 crunches on a stability ball.
Firm up legs: Stand on left foot, hands on hips, and bring right knee to hip level in front. Then bend left knee and hop to right, landing on right foot. Do 10 reps
Boost your bottom: Stand with feet hip-width apart, hands on waist. Shift weight to left foot and lift heel of right foot so you're resting on toes. Bend left knee and sink hips back, keeping weight off right foot (toes stay on ground). Rise up. Do 12 reps on left leg, then switch legs and repeat.
Bare amazing arms: Holding a dumbbell in each hand, stand with feet hip-width apart. Raise arms, palms down, out and slightly forward to shoulder height. Slowly lower them behind you so weights almost touch. Do 12 reps.
Slim all over: Stand with feet hip-width apart. Keeping legs as straight as possible, bend forward and walk hands out until they're under shoulders. Do two push-ups, then walk hands back and stand. Repeat twice, doing four push-ups, then six.
