Need a Quickie?

You know those times when there isn't enough time in the day. Your stressed, tired, worked-up and don't have the time between events to workout; now you do. 15 minutes is all it takes to get a muscle building and cardio workout! Will it get you the best calorie burning workout ever? Probably not, but if you have two 15 minute breaks during the day at least your giving your body a jolt of energy and strength.
-Targeting muscle and cardio, 15minutes+-
3 Complete sets of 2 exercises each
