Good With the Bad, 2

This is what I'm talking about:
The truth is that exercise doesn't have to take 60-90 minutes. The experts agree that short, intense bouts of exercise can actually deliver better results than traditional low intense exercise.
A study was recently conducted at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine that tested whether multiple short bouts of exercise would deliver better results than one long bout of exercise. They found that participants who performed short bouts of exercise stuck with the program longer and experienced greater weight loss than the participants that performed long bouts of exercise.

Short bursts of intense exercise will give you the results you want, all you have to do is make the time for it. Somewhere deep down inside you know that it's now or never.

I'll guarantee you that your paleolithic ancestors didn't work out to lose weight, never worked out for 20 minutes of cardio, and were more fit than you are.

Go short, go hard; intensity trumps duration!
