Short workouts that burn a lot of calories?

I have ADD, and so working out for a long period of time drives me crazy with boredom. What are some short workouts you've found that really work your body?

what do you consider short? Is 30 minutes too much?

Just do circuit of different exercises? If you don't want to think up your own, bodyrock.tv has 12 min workouts. Do different Jillian Michaels DVDs everyday. You don't have do the same thing forever to lose weight.

I hear at curves they change workouts very often?

High Intensity Interval Training, such as Burpees and Sprinting. Also Running Bleachers will kick your *kitten* into shape in no time at all!

Nike Club Training App is great for people with ADD like me.

you could do circuits working more then one body part (Say sq to press) with
jumping jacks or some type or plyo inbetween that will help.
intervals in cardio say running, biking min hard 2 min recovery 1:1 ratio makes it less boring + more efficient
or the 12 min body tv ones like mentioned kick butt!

i do sometimes a min of
mtc
squat jumps
planks
burpees
high knees
50sec on 10 rest twice each for 3 rounds i burn about 70/ round completed :]

Arguably, there is no reason to ever do a long workout.

My strength training hits an hour rarely, and that is mixing things up the whole time.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) gives the benefits of traditional cardio and more! I do 1 min as fast as I possibly can (which generally slows down throughout the minute because it is REALLY max speed) and 2 minutes of slower recovery (sometimes I'm almost at a walking pace because the 1 min was so hard). Repeat that 3 minute cycle 5-10 times. Add on a 5 min warm up and cool down. That's my 30 min workout. I only do regular long form cardio when I'm in the mood for it... which is pretty rare, honestly...

http://www.squidoo.com/cardio-vs-interval-training was the first link I found when I googled this to find a link for you. Basically compares HIIT and regular cardio and says a million reasons HIIT is awesome.

As long as I'm changing it up often, I can go for a long time. But doing the same exercise for 30 minutes would kill me. Just short exercises I can put into a workout, basically.

try zumba, its def not boring and you will love it..

Are you doing BodyRock? I just started the May challenge today. I found the concept a few months ago but am just starting it out because i have been recovering from toe surgery. It looks great but and still wondering if it will really be enough. I teach Spin 1-2 times a week too.

Just thought I'd add Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred....20 minutes per workout. Any Jillian Michael's DVD, really. Try it!

I echo the Jillian Michaels recommendations. She does things in circuits, so you aren't doing the same thing over and over. I have 4 or 5 of her videos so I don't have the sequences memorized and there is something of a surprise while doing the workout that keeps me engaged. In Banish Fat Boost Metabolism you can choose to only do certain circuits so you can change up the order or do a shorter workout that way too.

tae bo hands down is awesome!!

insanity if you can do it, its advanced. Otherwise, star jumps, jump rope.

Try Tabata training, its a type of HIIT training. You do each exercise for 20 seconds then stop for 20 seconds. Repeated 8 times. (4 minutes in total)

They can be anything, sit ups, squats, high jumps, skipping etc.
