With several studios to choose from, indoor cycling has been enjoying quite the boom lately—and for good reason! When you've created your online account, booking classes (and reserving your favourite bike) is easy-peasy! The great thing about this workout is that it offers a whole-body exercise. Spinning in itself is a form of cardio, but the creative routines with weights and choreography definitely make things more challenging. If you're looking for a workout that will challenge you and make you sweat in less than an hour's time, indoor cycling is the way to go!

3. PILATES

If you're the type who enjoys yoga but craves for more concentrated strengthening, Pilates will surely be an easy addition to your schedule. Here, you get to stretch, strengthen, and concentrate on spot-training. Build muscle (and internal patience) through resistance training. Bring a buddy when trying it for the first time to make sure you have a blast discovering your new workout!

4. RUNNING

For those who have a really tight schedule, running seems to be the most economical and time-friendly; you get to choose how long you run and how far. However, running takes a lot of discipline and a good Spotify playlist! Make sure you get into the right mindset to get the most of your hour. If you're really pressed for time, a daily 30-minute run will still surely put a pep in your step!
