"So I was reading a new study&amp;amp;#8212;about how running even as little as five minutes a day can reduce your risk of heart disease&amp;amp;#8212;and I started thinking about how it&amp;#x27;s still totally possible to reap health benefits and kill calories on even the busiest of days. You know&amp;amp;#8212;those kinds of go-here, go-there days when you literally have only five minutes to spare (argh)? It turns out there are plenty of moves that can do the job. Here are a few to try: Burpees: Yes, they&amp;#x27;re super intense. But burpees&amp;amp;#8212;where you start in plank position, pop your knees to your chest, jump up with your hands in the air, and, when you land, kick your feet back into plank position (and repeat)&amp;amp;#8212;work your entire body. In five minutes, you can burn: About 50 calories. Jump lunges: You&amp;#x27;ve done plenty of regular lunges, I&amp;#x27;m sure&amp;amp;#8212;from standing, you take one giant step forward, bend your front leg to a 90-degree angle, and raise back up&amp;amp;#8212;but, with these, there&amp;#x27;s an addition. As you come up from the squat, you jump in the air, scissoring your legs so that you land with the back leg in the front. In five minutes, you can burn: about 70 calories. Jump squats: Stand with your legs about shoulder-width apart and knees bent. With your back straight, pretend you&amp;#x27;re about to sit on a chair&amp;amp;#8212;and then jump, reaching your arms above you, and repeat. To make it more challenging, you can even add in some light weights. In five minutes, you can burn: about 45 calories. Skipping rope: It&amp;#x27;s not just for the playground! Steadily jumping rope is great for both your upper and lower body, gets your heart pumping, and burns twice the amount of calories as jogging does. In five minutes, you can burn: about 55 calories. Hmm, anyone else notice a jumping trend here? What are your favorite moves to do when you have basically zero time? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
