Lack of time is the most common explanation that people offer for giving up on exercise program. But few people realise that, even if they do not have time for intensive workouts, they can stay fit with an abbreviated exercise routine. Once you have achieved a moderate level of fitness, you can maintain it despite a busy schedule. Even if you spend long hours working in an office or caring for children at home, or if your working week is often interrupted by business travel, there are exercises that you can do virtually anywhere to keep yourself in shape. Those who let their training lapse may face the challenge of re-establishing the benefits they have lost, which demands much more time and energy than merely maintaining fitness.
First and foremost, a quick workout is an efficient exercise routine that provides the maximum fitness benefits in a brief time. The key to its effectiveness is the intensity of each exercise - that is, how hard you exert yourself. By increasing the intensity, you can decrease the amount of time you devote to an exercise - whether it be a set of push-ups or an aerobics routine - and thus reap the benefits more rapidly. Although quick workouts are most useful for those times when your usual exercise schedule is disrupted - when travelling, for example, or putting in extra hours at work - you can perform a quick workout if you have only limited time to devote to exercise. The quick workouts shown in this book can be done in just 20 minutes, a period of time that even the busiest schedule can accommodate.
