20 Minute Workout / Quick Exercise Program

You can have a very effective 20 minute workout, if you do the right exercises and use the right technique.

The 20 minute workouts on this page are designed to be done at home, 20 minutes is not a great deal of time, even the busiest of us can spare 20 minutes.

How often should you do these workouts?

I recommend doing them 3 - 5 times a week for effective results, for example you could train Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Monday to Friday with the weekend off.

How will these workouts benefit you?

These workouts will burn calories, tone and build muscle and also give your cardiovascular system a workout.

The exercises here can be done without equipment, apart from the tricep dip, which you will need a chair or bed so you can do the exercise properly.
