Find time for fitness with these fast and effective exercise routines

30 Minutes a Week


If you can only commit to a half hour a week, don’t save it all for the weekend. “You don’t want to do just one bout of exercise,” says Coopersmith. “After 48 hours, the benefits you reap start to decrease.” Instead, complete this 10-minute, total-body circuit three times a week. Do each exercise for 30 seconds before moving on to the next one as quickly as you can. Quick tip: Avoid having to constantly check your watch by using the UltraTimer app, suggests Coopersmith.
