Break a sweat in 15 minutes flat with these high-intensity workouts

Work, college, nights out, even TV… there are a million and one things that we end up prioritising over exercise.

But working out on a regular basis is so beneficial, not only to our physical health but to our mental health too – even a small amount of physical exercise each day can help with focus, concentration and general wellbeing.

If you find you're simply too busy to make it to the gym or head out for a run, that doesn't mean you have to skip out on exercise completely.

Here are four 15-minute exercise videos to try out next time you're having a busy day.
