Get it all over quickly with this system. Just do multiple exercises within twenty minutes or less. There are plenty of well known exercises that suit this work-out like skipping, or using dumbbells (or raising and lowering cans of baked beans or a hardback book instead). A lot can be achieved in very little time.
