I get most of my exercise from walking (and hiking, paddling, that sort of thing) - but I've been trying to get in a little movement to raise my heart rate, too. I found this 15 minute aerobics video that is fast, fun, and easy - I find it very easy to just do it in the morning as I am getting into my day (I work from home, which makes this easy) without it disrupting too much. This guy - Body Project - has a bunch of others as well. I like the 30 minute video when I have more time and am not walking as much, and I'm sure he has others that I would like, too, if I get around to trying them.
I will invite the naysayers to keep quiet about how that's not enough exercise, not enough cardio, etc. For me, now, it's good (on top of walking for almost two hours a day, but even if not - this makes exercise very accessible). Anyway, I thought others might find this good, too - so: And now: Do you have any fast-ish workout videos you like, for when I get tired of doing this one? |
I really like the 30 day shred videos! There are three of the videos around 20 minutes long. They really get it done though! |
Thank you, OP! 15 minutes is my attention span for this kind of thing and I love that they have rhythm. This looks very doable despite my assorted wonky joints. |
There are so many options on YouTube!
These playlists have a bunch of 10-20 minute cardio workouts https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe5P3ayTEj7as1XDiI6jh0I0W3NEFOL23 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ov72VWpiOpFxBOyXlsORojKg89TxAjG https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN99XDk2SYr4EqI6foftUGsztysm1HfV1 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=15+minute+workout |
This is OP - and that's exactly why I like it! 15 mins is my attention span for this type of exercise, too, and I like that it's not going to tax my joints. |
Ooh thanks - I will check these out! |
NP -- thanks all! I'm trying to get back into shape but with two kids under 3 I barely have time to do anything. 10-20 minutes I can steal from my lunch break on days I work from home! |
I loved this! Thank you for posting! I actually just got up and did it in my office (obv w/o the weights). |
