5 of my favorite fast workouts for busy people

How would I describe life right now? In a word: hectic.

But I’m here to let you in on a secret: a hectic schedule doesn’t mean your workout routine has to go out the window. A lot of people spend too much time worrying whether we’re doing it right or for long enough, when all that really matters is that we’re moving.

More isn’t always better. A short workout can be super effective – that’s basically my training philosophy right there. So instead of saying “stuff it” because you can’t put in an hour at the gym, it’s time to switch your mindset.

I’ve picked 5 killer workouts that clock in at under 15 minutes each. The best part? We’ve unlocked them so you can get your sweat on even if you’re not a Centr member.

Let’s make the next 15 minutes count.

2. 15 minutes of fire with Bobby & Tahl

Fitness level: All – each trainer demos a different intensity.

The title says it all: this is 15 minutes of fat-burning cardio fire. It’s all bodyweight, so you don’t need equipment, and you can follow the trainer demonstrating the intensity level that’s right for you.
