Still can't get to the gym ?

Try this for added cardio, fat-burning & leaner muscles

TRY “BURST” TRAINING

Did you know that a short burst of intense exercise is extremely beneficial not only for overall fitness but for building lean muscle tissue, burning fat and promoting longevity? If you want an even higher calorie, faster-fat burn, better brain booster exercise, try burst training. Also known as interval training, burst training involves periods of high-intensity bursts (or fast walk) followed by a few minutes of lower-intensity speeds (slow walk).

The biggest benefit of burst training is it will convert you from a fat-storer to a fat-burner. Short-burst training helps raise endorphins, life your mood, and make you feel more energized. There are endless ways you can put together a burst training workout. Below is a sample table of a heart-pumping 30-minute workout with bursts:
