Pick up one of the many fitness magazines on the newsstands and you’re bound to see exaggerated claims of “Lose 10 pounds in a week in only 15 minutes a day!” (Not eating for a week might help you lose 10 pounds, but we don’t recommend it.) Please heed this warning: Run, don’t walk, from any article or infomercial that makes such bold claims. Still, that doesn’t mean that with a little creativity, you can’t break a sweat and be productive.

As someone’s sage grandmother once said, “It’s the drops in the bucket that make a big puddle.” Even if you only have 15 minutes to squeeze in a workout, you’ll be improving your fitness compared to doing nothing at all. No, it’s not enough time to transform you into a fitness model, but you can do several techniques to help you release stress, burn calories, and build muscle. In this chapter, we provide you with several ideas of quick things you can do away from the gym.
