We get it. Between work, family, social life, and everything in between, finding time to exercise can feel impossible. But the good news is you don't need hours to get a great workout. At Inspire Health and Fitness in Clonmel, we’re all about training smart and efficiently. Here are five fast and effective workouts designed specifically for your busy schedule:

1. 20-Minute Full-Body HIIT

Short on time but want results? High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) packs a powerful punch in just 20 minutes. Perform each exercise for 45 seconds with 15 seconds rest between exercises. Repeat the circuit three times.

• Jump Squats
• Push-ups

HIIT boosts metabolism, burns fat, and improves cardiovascular health quickly.

Ideal for home workouts or a quick session during lunch breaks. Repeat this circuit three times with minimal rest:

• 10 Dumbbell Squats
