Cross-Training Workouts For People Short On Time

So, you’re short on time but still love your body enough to want to keep it in shape. No problem! These 20 minute workouts require little equipment and are perfect for you.

Perform all of the exercises one after another for a total of 20 minutes with minimal rest. If you’re not as fit as you’d like to be at the moment, don’t worry, try bringing the amount of time down to 10 minutes and alter the reps slightly to suit you better!
