Trying to workout in the evening after a long day at work or school can often be challenging. Many people have found that using their lunch breaks instead is the best way for them to stay on track with their fitness goals. According to Jacqueline Stenson of MSNBC, many lunchtime gym goers make the mistake of only doing cardio each time they workout. She says that in order for you to get the most from your workouts, you need to shorten the amount of time you spend on cardio and add some strength training. More intense cardio done for 15 minutes would serve you better than moderate intensity exercise done for 40 minutes. This shorter cardio session provides time for you to warm-up before your workout, add a short strength training session, and then cool-down before showering. If you only have 30 minutes to workout and cannot fit in cardio plus the training of all major muscle groups, another option would be to alternate the days that you do cardio and strength training. The key is to create a routine that fits best into your time constraints and your lifestyle.
