Steady and long workouts may not give you the most bang for your buck. Intense exercise is more of a burner than anything else because when you go through intense training, it aids in calorie burning during and after a workout. HIT does this very well and so does HIIT. Some people believe that very intense yet long workouts benefit more but not everyone has time to do something very long. A few minutes is more than enough if you do it right.
Yesterday after doing an Isometric workout for my core, I was in the mood to really get some cardio in but didn't want to do it very long so I went into the dungeon, set a timer for 10 minutes, grabbed my 20 lb Sandbell and had at it doing Slams and Presses for AMRAP. Lungs were firing and felt amazing. This kind of workout is a full body conditioner to a great degree because i'm also doing this with little to no rest between the Superset. Here's what I was working very hard....
Lung Capacity
Grip Strength & Agility
Shoulders
Legs
Core
Anaerobic Conditioning
Upper & Lower Back
Chest
& Power
Short & Intense workouts either as a finisher or on their own burn calories like crazy especially if you keep going without stopping. The Sandbell is an incredible tool and has dozens upon dozens of exercises to work with and forces to work your grip hard. It's not like a dumbbell or kettlebell where you grip the same size handle, you actually have to regrip it every time you use it so imagine the finger strength being developed by this. It strengthens the tendons and ligaments and when you slam it, you're strengthening your lung capacity.
This is just an idea of what you can do if you're short on time but want something effective. Here's the complete workout....
10 Slams
20 Presses (10 per arm)
AMARAP In 10 minutes with little to no rest.
