Well, those of us who have always used a lack of time as the number one reason for not working out (and that seems the most common reason) are rapidly running out of excuses.
New studies are showing that short but high-intensity workouts are as capable or even more capable of burning calories. The 2-3 minute high-intensity bursts can help to burn an extra 200 calories a day.
It seems that the most important factor is that the exercise is followed by equal periods of rest and recovery. It doesn't seem like too big of a deal, but lack of motivation is the main factor in being inactive. It is much easier to motivate yourself to put in four to five 2-minute bursts than an hour on the treadmill.
So try the interval training technique in shorter stints to see if that fits your lifestyle better. Doing some workout is better than none at all. With this routine, there are no excuses.
