30-Second Workouts That Work

Stay active all day, every day!

4. Side Planks

Side planks target your obliques, the muscles running down the side of your torso. Make sure you have the proper form, and don’t forget to repeat the exercise on the other side!

5. Jumping Jacks

Another great cardio move is jumping jacks. These are an ideal commercial break exercise. Challenge yourself to complete 50 or more jumping jacks in thirty seconds.

6. Yoga Stretches

Yoga stretches can be done at work, at school, at home, or even in the car. While stretches won’t improve your cardiac health, they can loosen tight muscles, improve flexibility, and give you a quick burst of energy. Try a few of these 7 Yoga Poses for All Day Energy.
