Fitness
professionals are vouching for brief exercises that can be done quickly
within 15-20 minutes to get leaner. We take a look at this growing
fitness pattern
For the regular office goers as well as
homemakers, a workout that doesn't take more than 20 minutes of your
time is ideal. Shraddha Sheth, fitness professional says, "Long working
hours take a toll on the average working professional's health. To
ensure that you have a fit and lean body, the best way to workout is by
putting in a maximum of 20 minutes of intense cardio or weight
training."

Fitness trainer Nikita Jalgaonkar says, "For most working
professionals, taking out an hour from their daily schedule becomes a
problem. That is the reason why most gyms in the city now offer workouts
that are customised as per the client's body requirement. Short
workouts range anywhere between a seven-minute, 12-minute to a maximum
of 20 minutes of exercise routine. Short and intense workouts involve
biking, running on the treadmill, doing brief bouts of weights and
strength training, using gym equipment like a cross trainer or push-ups,
fast squats, lunges and a quick aerobic workout.
BENEFITS OF SHORT AND INTENSE WORKOUTS
A quick, intense workout burns more calories as compared to burning calories in an hour's workout.
It tires your body enough and helps recover the muscles.
Extreme training improves your body's heart rate and beat.
These workouts also help in increasing your metabolism by stimulating the production of your human growth hormone (HGH).
Short workouts consume more energy. Since the time required to exercise is less, you are challenging yourself more and thus losing more weight.
