| I will admittedly tell you that this is a subjective | | | | workout by taking a leisurely 1-hour bike ride or |
| list of what I personally think are the five best | | | | by doing any other activity without utilizing some |
| aerobic exercises. I don’t have tons of time | | | | form of intensity in your workout. |
| to workout so I like to use one of the following | | | | High intensity workouts will burn up to 50% more |
| five to complete a complete aerobic workout in | | | | fat than a low intensity program. It will also rev |
| 20 minutes. I’ll tell you how in just a bit but, | | | | up your metabolism and keep it humming along |
| here are what I think are the top 5. | | | | for a while post workout. To achieve a high |
| 1. Inline skating | | | | intensity routine in 20 minutes I use a graduated |
| | | | step method. |
| 2. Biking | | | | To use a step method here is what you simply |
| | | | do. Take for instance you are going to go inline |
| 3.Walking | | | | skating. You would start skating at a |
| | | | comfortable speed that feels very natural to |
| 4.Stair climbing | | | | you. Not too fast and not too slow. You would |
| | | | continue at this speed for 2 minutes. Then for |
| 5.Rope jumping | | | | minutes 3, 4, and 5 you in one-minute increments |
| You may agree or disagree with my top 5 list | | | | increase or step up your speed each of the last 3 |
| either way it doesn’t matter. What does | | | | minutes of your first 5-minute segment. Then |
| matter is that you pick an activity that you enjoy | | | | your return to your starting speed for 2 minutes |
| and perform it in the most time effective manner | | | | and continue the step up process again. |
| for the purpose of getting in shape in the | | | | Complete the 5-minute segments 4 times and |
| shortest amount of time. | | | | you will have your 20-minute workout finished. |
| Now you will not achieve an effective aerobic | | | | |
