5 minutes fitness

"My favorite 30-minute workout is a run or walk with a strength circuit. This workout combines both aerobic and strength work in a short period of time, which gives you the best of both worlds.

"This type of workout is especially helpful for beginner runners, walkers, or injury-prone athletes who need to get in strength work but often skip it due to time constraints. Not only will this routine provide you with a dynamic way to gain aerobic fitness, it will strengthen your running muscles so you can increase your volume with less injury risk."

How to avoid injury: "The one thing to be cautious about with this type of workout is maintaining proper form with strength work, especially the last two rounds. As you get tired, it’s easy to let your form deteriorate, which could lead to injury. Make sure to use proper form, and don’t hesitate to take a short rest or lessen the repetitions if needed."

The workout: Start with a run or walk of 3–5 minutes, then complete a short round of 3–4 dynamic strength exercises. Do this for 4 rounds, then cool down.
