If you only have 10- 15 mins to spare, what would be the most effective workout?

    I love kettlebells! Plenty to do in even 5 mins -- although your 10-15 would be better. Some sites say that kettlebells burn 20 calories per minute, no idea if that is true but they certainly exhaust in record time!

    Push ups, planks, burpees, squats with a jump on the uplift, kettle bells, running, jumping jacks... Anything where you're moving

    Do you have only 10/15 minutes per day?
    Well, probably the RCAF's 5BX/XBX plans.

    XBX (women): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBX

    Gianfranco, normally i will exercise for 40-60 mins. but there are some days when family plans do not allow for that much time. so i figure if i can get in a good 10-15 mins then i wont feel guilty.

    anything involving running or jumping is difficult for me, i have bad knees, the next day i can barely move them.
