We can’t do it for you and sitting here reading article after article without actually exercising is getting you nowhere. It’s time to step up and start making things happen and quit complaining about how much time doing a little exercise takes up in your day. Below you will find different 20 minute workouts that will literally having you burn fat in no time. Are you ready to reach the next level?

Making It Quick with Supersets

So, you’re sitting there still thinking there is no possible way you can do this everyday? Well ready because we have the perfect type of workout for you. Supersets are probably the most innovated exercise for those of you who are always in a hurry. Each superset shouldn’t last any longer then about two minutes in time. Think you can spare 120 seconds out of your day. We already know you daydream longer then that at work.

Now the idea here is obviously to have twenty minute workouts so guess what that means? You’re going to do 10 sets of either pushups or crunches. Make sure you alternate and do not stop! This is very important to utilize every facet of your time. When doing crunches it will allow you to rest the upper body and when doing the pushups you can rest your mid section.

When you’re ready for the pushup and crunch combo supersets start out with ten regular pushups. When finished switch to the crunch position and hit your ten spot. Follow these with ten wide pushups, and then ten more crunches. Finally, end your superset with ten tricep pushups and finish out with alternating crunches. So, how do you feel? We know, it’s going to get you sore, but when is the last time you worked this hard to get that rock hard body?

Do Leg and Ab Supersets Every Other Day

Everyone knows by now how important it is to rest your muscles and allow them to heal. So if you are doing pushups and crunches on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, be sure to do your leg and ab supersets on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. This is a twenty-ten-twenty routine where squats, lunges per leg, and calf raises are scattered between crunching sets. Okay, we’re done with the supersets, now it’s time to start something different.

Running and Walking

Which one you do will depend on how fit you are in the beginning. If you can do a little of both that is great, but whatever makes you the most comfortable. So, how far do you think you can run in a 20 minute workout? We know you can do 1-2 miles without any problem, but push yourself. Each time out be sure to try and beat your previous time. If you have to write it down when you get back home then do it. Competition always raises the bar on exercising so if you have someone to do it with you, then by all means let them join you.

There Are Many Other 20 Minute Workouts Worth Trying

Many of you may feel like the above techniques and methods will be enough to get you where you want to be. However, we have a few others that can help you on your journey to a fit and healthy body. One of the best exercises is swimming. If you ever wanted to tone every part of your body this is definitely one of the top three methods. See how far you can swim in a twenty minute period. If you really want to step it up a notch, then alternate some pushups and crunches in between laps.

Listen, you can do this and there is no better time to start then now. The negative thoughts have to be turned into positives or else you’ll just be reading more articles and hoping that someday you’ll have the body you’ve been searching for all along. Who wants to live like that for the rest of their life? We don’t either.
