Get it in and get on with your day.

High-intensity workouts are way more efficient at burning calories and building muscle than steady-state cardio (think biking or running at the same moderate pace for a set period of time). And to boil a bunch of complicated science into a simple concept, when you eat a lot of carbs, that's what your body uses as energy during a workout. But when you eat low-carb, your body turns to your fat stores for energy sooner, Albert Matheny, C.S.C.S., and co-founder of Soho Strength Lab in New York City, tells BuzzFeed Life. Here's a lot more info on that.
BuzzFeed Life asked Matheny to create a 20-minute high-intensity fat-burning workout that you can do anywhere (with a few minutes added to the front and end for warm-up and cool-down). And here's what he came up with.
Here's how it works:
1. You start with Circuit 1, and you do as many rounds of that circuit as you can in 10 minutes (as many rounds as possible, otherwise known as AMRAP).
2. After 10 minutes, you take a one-minute rest break.
3. Then you move on to Circuit 2. Do as many rounds of Circuit 2 as you can in 10 minutes.
Don't forget to warm up and cool down. Now get to it!
