How long do I have to workout to be "FIT"?

A recent study in the journal of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that short bouts of exercise   can be just as effective in burning calories and improving health as getting it done all at once!

If you are short on time ( as we all are these days!), don't think that you have to do 30-45 min. consecutive workout sessions to get the benefits you want!

Of course it is important to get 30min of moderate- intensity exercise 5-6 days per week- it may be easier to fit into your schedule if you workout like this:

* 15min. treadmill walk or run - first thing in the morning - before breakfast

* 20 min. dumbbell workout on your lunch hour

* 15min. stationary bike before dinner

It all adds up!   No excuses!
