30 Work Outs That Take Less Than 30 Minutes

We all know what it’s like to be pressed for time. There are only so many hours in a day and sometimes we have to choose what we need to prioritize. And sometimes, I’ll admit, fitness can fall off the top of the list.

For those kinds of days, I need quick workout I can still try to sneak in. Even a little bit of movement is better than none and some days I just have to be okay with that.

Here’s a list of 30 les mills workouts that all take less than 30 minutes total. There’s a mix of full body and targeted workouts as well as some stretching routines. For whatever you need, they have a workout for it!
