15-minute workout: is it worth it? A plan for busy days
How to get the most from 15 minutes: fewer exercises, more focus, and a full-body routine you can do before work.
Yes, 15 minutes count
Three short sessions a week done consistently beat a long workout that never happens. The trick is to pick a few exercises that work many muscles.
The plan
3-minute warm-up. Then 3 rounds of: squat (40 s), push-up (40 s), backpack row (40 s), plank (30 s), with 20 seconds' rest between exercises. 2 minutes of stretching to finish.
