Are you someone who loves quick and effective workouts? Well, then you're certainly not alone. Shortage of time is one of the most common reasons why many people end up skipping their workouts for the day. Quick and short workouts are usually high in intensity and require better agility and mobility. The same can be achieved with consistency and regular practice. Along with the need of quick and short workouts, there's also a need for workouts which target different parts of the body.
If you are working out regularly, you have to ensure that you work on your chest, arms, abs, back, lower body and upper body at least once a week. Ideally, your workout routine should be a mix of both cardio and weight training.
