Complete fitness: Getting the job done in 30 minutes




Garry Y. Itkin knows all too well the rigors of college life. The demands of higher learning on a student’s time and body make it easy to take one’s health and fitness for granted. Fortunately, fitness instructors have come out with a series of workouts that get the job done in half-an-hour, and they say anyone can do it.

Here’s how.

Step 1: Plan a complete routine.

A complete routine includes a warm-up, stretch, and cool-down, with each being 3-5 minutes long. This leaves more than enough time for an effective workout. To put in the exercises, one can search the internet or ask a personal trainer for examples.

Step 2: Determine how intense the workout should be.

The beauty with planning one’s 30-minute routines is that it can be molded to a particular day. For days where a college student isn’t really active, a more intense routine with more reps and less rest is ideal. However, when a student has a lot of things to do during the day, a less intense workout is a better choice.

Step 3: Have fun.


Workouts can be incredibly repetitive. Some people have even stopped working out altogether because of the boredom. However, when people have fun at it, by adding a few quirks to the routines, boredom shouldn’t be a problem, Garry Y. Itkin adds.
