Since you're not going to have much time over Christmas you might think you'll have to give up your workouts. But really you just need to train a little smarter. Don't have time to get to the gym? Here's an 20 minute workout you can do at home.

The idea of this workout is hard and fast. It won't take you long but it will wind you a lot. The aim is to try to keeping going with as little break between exercises as possible. Just move from one to the next as fast as you can.


Pushups - 10 reps
Squats - 20 reps
Crunches - 20 reps
Run on the spot - 30 seconds

Do one exercise after another without a break until you have finished the 30 second run. Take a 30 second break and then go again. Keeping going as hard as you can for 20 minutes.

It will feel pretty easy the first two or even three times through. But after that things will change and it gets rough. But hey, at least it's over in 20 minutes!

Now there's no excuse. Go get at it!
