Unlock your athletic potential and get into the best shape of your life with Krista Stryker's HIIT and bodyweight workouts—all of which can be done in just minutes a day! If you've ever thought you couldn't get results without spending hours in the gym, that you'd never be able to do a pull-up, or that it's too late to get in your best shape ever, The 12-Minute Athlete will change your mind, your body, and your life. Get serious results with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts that can be done in just minutes a day.

–Two 8-week workout plans for getting fitter, faster, and stronger
