15 Minute Exercise Timer
For the movement that happens because it is short. Fifteen minutes most days beats an hour once a fortnight.

Why a 15 minute exercise timer works
- Frequency over duration
- Works in a living room
- Loud alarm you will hear mid-set
Movement that requires no travel, no kit and no changing room is the movement that actually happens. Fifteen minutes clears all three obstacles at once.
How to spend the fifteen minutes
| Minute | What to do |
|---|---|
| 0-2 | Start easy enough to hold a conversation |
| 2-13 | Build to an effort you would call hard |
| 13-15 | Come back down slowly, do not just stop |

Questions people ask
What exercise fits into 15 minutes?
Bodyweight circuits, a brisk walk, a mobility flow, a kettlebell complex or an intervals block. Anything that does not need a commute to start.
Is a short session worth it on a busy day?
It is the session most likely to actually happen, and consistency across months matters more than any single workout's length.
Do I need equipment for the 15 minute exercise timer?
No. Everything in the plan above works with bodyweight and a patch of floor. Add kit if you have it, but the session should not depend on it.
