Go hard, for not too long, for great results


More and more fitness experts are recommending shorter periods of intense aerobic exercise for good results. This is great news since many of us don't have time for 10-mile runs of 50-minute bike rides.

Here's a foolproof combo I like: Kettlebell swings and squat thrusts (or burpees). Mix these two exercises and blast the heart and lungs. Fifteen minutes, if you can make it, should do the trick.

Aren't familiar with kettlebells? That's worth a whole post.

Throw in another WiserHealth favorite, jump roping, if you don't have a kettlebell yet.
