We are pumped to share one of our favorite stories from Self here on FitSugar!
There are days - like today, TBH - where you just wish there were more hours in the day to get everything done. Including a good workout. (Kinda like this one.) Thankfully, the folks at Crunch conjured up a 30-minute class that torches the amount of calories you normally would in 60. Can somebody pinch us, please?
The logic beyond Body Blitz's massive fat-burning abilities? "The workout keeps moving from one exercise to the next very quickly, hitting the whole body and adding in some cardio bursts," says Michelle Opperman, Group Fitness Manager at Crunch in San Francisco. "You can squeeze 60 minutes into 30 and get a great workout by pushing harder and more intensely in those 30 minutes if you are willing to go a little bit outside of your comfort zone.
Sound too good to be true? Try Body Blitz for yourself. At home. RIGHT NOW. SERIOUSLY. Oppenham created this at-home routine exclusively for you guys so experience the time-saving techniques from exercise class from the comfort of your own home (or apartment, in our case). Just add these 4 moves to your regular routine 2 to 3 times a week to tone up fast without sacrificing a single moment of your limited, precious free time. We get it.

Contract your chest and straighten your arms as you lift your torso off the floor to your mid back keeping your abs tight. Slowly lower back to your starting position and repeat. Do 15 reps.
Read on for the rest of the workout.
