15 MINUTE WORKOUT REGIME

In this fast-paced world when everything seems to pass by on a blur and anything can happen within seconds – it seems as if more and more people are using ‘lack of time’ as an excuse not to exercise. The result is that more and more people are experiencing health problems associated with being overweight. Or, they simply do not feel happy about the way that they look on the outside.
But if you really want to achieve your fitness goals, you need to exert the effort and allot time to actually working out. The good news is that there is no need for you to slave away your hours in the gym just so that you can have a fitter, healthier body. With the minimal amount of time that you can squeeze in a workout session in your schedule, there are lots of exercises that you can perform so that you can accomplish your fitness goals accordingly.

BOOST YOUR FITNESS LEVEL WITHIN A QUARTER HOUR!

Before dishing out the workout tips that you can squeeze into a quarter of an hour or fifteen minutes, let us first take a quick look at how this fitness technique would work. Basically, you need to allot only fifteen minute workout sessions per day, three times a week in your busy schedule. When you perform these short, intense workout sessions, you are actually working on muscle building, muscle toning and calorie burning. As a result, you can get the body that you want without slaving away your precious hours in the gym.

Whether you are working out in a classic gym setup, a home gym or even on a plain exercise mat in your bedroom with a  set of dumbbells or soup cans – there’s a lot that you can accomplish as long as you perform these 15-minute exercises well. Take a look at the following list:

15 MINUTE WORKOUT ROUTINE #1
A very easy-to-follow yet effective 15-minute workout regime is this. Use the first ten minutes to perform aerobic exercises. What you do is up to you – walk, jog, use the treadmill, hop on a stationary bike or an elliptical machine. Increase the pace of your workout in such a way that by the end of the ten-minute period, you will notice an increase in your breathing but you are still able to talk.

After the cardio exercises, perform a one-minute abdominal exercise. It can be crunches or sit-ups, whichever type of exercise you feel is easier for you to perform. Then, spend the next three minutes doing strength-building exercises. Using a pair of dumbbells, do some chest presses, chest curls and shoulder raises if you are a beginner. If you are already used to performing advanced workouts, do some pull-ups, dips and chin-ups.

Finally, the last minute should be intended for flexibility exercises. Do some side bends or perform the sit and reach routine. For this, you simply need to sit upright on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you. Then, extend your arms as you try to reach your toes by gently leaning forward. Don’t overexert yourself if you can’t reach your toes – just stretch until you feel a gentle tension. Hold the position for 30 seconds, and relax.

15 MINUTE WORKOUT ROUTINE #2
You can also perform a 15-minute workout if you have a fitness ball. First, do some warm-up exercises by marching in place for a couple of minutes, swinging your arms gently and lifting your knees high. Next, lay your stomach on top of the exercise ball and do some dynamic push-ups. Side crunches, rolling reverse planks and other routines can be used using an exercise ball. Just make sure to warm up first, then increase your pace and perform exercises to cool down at the end of your 15-minute workout.

These are just a couple of 15-minute workout routines that you can follow. As you can see, it is quite easy to exercise even only with a quarter of an hour to spare – so maximize your workout routines so that you can meet your fitness goals in no time at all.
