Short intense workouts have been a hit lately. But half an hour of free time? No excuse, you can exercise for 20 minutes. With these tips you will get the most out of your short workout.
Keep the pace high
Twenty minutes on the treadmill at a relaxed pace will not give you the results you hope for. If you're short on time, short but sweet is your motto.
Don't take too many breaks
Make the most of your time by taking only really necessary breaks.

Do a warm-up and cool-down
Even if you have limited time, a warm-up and a cool-down are really necessary, precisely because you exercise so intensively in a short time.
Don't eat too much
You only exercise for a short time, so you don't need a lot of extra energy. Eat something small beforehand and don't see exercise as an excuse to eat an extra cookie afterwards. You burn quite a few calories in 20 minutes, but you can also eat them again within a minute.
