Best short workout at home?

[moonbogg]

I'm busy all the time. Whats a really simple home workout I can do? Burpees? Squat jumps and pushups? I run when I have time.

Look into insanity. It's really a terrific workout. I'm did a few sessions and I was drenched after each workout. Each session is about 45 minutes long. I would say about 10 minutes or so goes to stretching exercise and rest in between sets. It does a good job of giving you a full body workout without using any equipment whatsoever.

I really would have loved to stick with it but it was way too painful on my previously fractured foot w/ torn ligaments.

I would recommend Insanity as well. This is my last week of it actually. As already mentioned, 1st month is like 45 minutes and then the 2nd month is harder at 55 minutes to an hour. It's a great workout, although there's practically no pulling type exercises. It's great if you don't want to think about what to do next or plan.... Just follow, sweat, and increase your cardio.

I wouldn't exactly call 45min quick. Overall, I think Insanity requires a lot more building-up than it suggests. I think utilizing body weight movements in a circuit-like fashion is usually pretty effective and fast. For example:

5 rounds of:
10 burpees
20 air squats
5 pull-ups

Probably won't take you more than 15min to complete, but you work in upper body pushing, upper body pulling, lower body, plyometrics a bit, etc. I've always fancied thought kinds of workouts when I'm low on time. Still gotta warm up beforehand (at least 5min) though.

I've been doing a 30 min resistance band workout 4 times a week for a couple of months now using the routines from liveexercise.com. I've seen others around the internet which are around 20 minutes.
