Yesterday I did a short workout wherein I attempted to cram in as many benefits as possible in 25 minutes. I did a circuit of exercises including kettlebell swings, planks, and some plyometric moves. Ideally I would do a similar circuit at least twice a week, but it would be in addition to a swim, bike or run workout on the same day. But yesterday after work I decided the best use of my time would be to watch some Netflix with Karin on a rare evening when we have the house to ourselves (we have 2 roommates). We always make plans to watch a movie or documentary after we do everything else, including workouts, and by then we are too tired! So yesterday we finally watched a movie we have been wanting to see for, literally, about 2 years. Then we watched an awesome documentary called Ride the Divide, about a fairly unknown mountain bike race from Canada to Mexico along the Continental Divide. Then by that time I didn't want to go to the gym for a long workout that would take me away from home for over an hour and a half, so I just did the cram-it-all-in circuit in the living room.
Here are some of the exercises I did:
(That is not me in the pictures.)

| Kettlebell Swing |

| Burpees |
 |
| Froggy Jumps |

| Plyo Lunge |
As far as super short workouts go, this one is very effective. It builds strength and power, while also really working your core and getting your heart rate up.
