If you’ve ever skipped a workout because you “didn’t have time,” you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not out of options. The truth is, you don’t need an hour (or even half an hour) to make serious progress in your fitness journey. That’s where the magic of 15-minute workouts comes in.

Welcome to Fit in 15—your new go-to series for fast, effective, no-excuses workouts that actually fit your lifestyle.

Science Behind Short Workouts

Studies show that short bursts of exercise can be just as effective—if not more—than longer sessions when it comes to burning fat, building strength, and improving heart health. The key is intensity and consistency.

Workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) and circuit training keep your heart rate elevated while targeting multiple muscle groups. In just 15 minutes, you can challenge your body, torch calories, and walk away feeling accomplished.

Between work, family, and everything else the military life throws at us, finding time for fitness can feel impossible.
