20 Quick and Dirty Workouts in 30 Minutes or Less

1 May, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 18 Comments

Hey Friends! How’s it goin?

After my post on Wednesday about tips to enjoy exercising more, I decided to tackle tip #1 ASAP. If you didn’t catch that post, the first tip was to try something new. Usually I do group fitness classes when I’m in a fitness rut, but even those aren’t keeping my interest these days. So, I thought that having a collection of quick workouts on hand to choose from on the go would be a good idea.

Generally, if I go to the gym without a plan, I’d turn to Pinterest or another one of my fitness apps for this. But, sometimes having too many choices is just as bad as having none. Plus, this way, I’ve already vetted the workouts. That means that I don’t need to go through the whole processes of reading through the workout and figuring out whether or not I like it, while I’m already not in the mood to workout. I also know I won’t inadvertently end up staying in the gym for hours on end completing the world’s longest workout. Don’t you just hate when that happens?

    I’m definitely a fan of shorter workouts. They are just as effective and you can push yourself harder knowing you’re not going to be at it for an hour or more.

    It is difficult for me to train, but I can’t help being active, because it is very important to keep my body in good shape. I chose another sport – Pilates. I work in the Studio with a great coach, there is a list of good studios here https://mediaonemarketing.com.sg/top-pilates-classes-singapore/. This is a great way to relax and keep your figure in shape.
