Ok so I am super busy these days and most days I can only find about a half hour to put toward a serious workout. My question is what are some things I should be doing to make the most of a workout. I can get to the gym maybe 2-3 times a week and the rest of the time it's something at home.

    Here is a modified workout that takes about 45 minutes:

    1. Warm up with 5 minutes of dynamic stretching
    2. Jump Squats 5x 10
    3. Circuit - Dumbbell rows from plank, push ups, sit ups 3x10 each
    4. Circuit - jump lunges, single leg toe touch 3x10 each
    5. Circuit - mountain climbers 3x20, legs down, russian twists 3x 10 each
    6. Circuit - Dead lift high pull, overhead press, dumbbell curls (use dumbbells equal to the most you can lift for the weakest exercise) 3x10 each
    7. Burpees 3 x 10
    8. Planks - left side, right side, center 1 min each
    9. Cool down with stretching

    Here is the link to the actual with video descriptions of all the exercises.
