Yes, I know this isn’t totally career-oriented, but if you’re anything like me, the last two months of the year sees you with much less time to get to the gym and much less willpower for the inevitable parade of sweets your coworkers (or clients!) will heap upon you. In this spirit, I present this post from Yahoo! Health offering some quick, yet intense workouts for when getting to the gym just isn’t an option.

A quick tip:

• Pick any cardio you like (running, swimming, the elliptical trainer). Warm up for 2 minutes at a moderate pace, then sprint for 30 seconds at the highest intensity you can muster. Slow down and do 90 seconds at a catch-your-breath recovery pace. Repeat eight times. You’ll torch more calories in less time, while you burn fat faster. Follow this cardio session with a few of the following fast firmers for a total-body workout in less than 30 minutes.

Happy holidays!
