Whether running, spinning, practicing yoga, going for a walk or boxing, there are a ton of ways to get moving. NASCAR driver and Drink Up supporter Kasey Kahne (check out the Drink Up paint scheme on his #5 Chevrolet earlier this year at Pocono!) shared one of his favorite workout routines with Men’s Journal recently, and for those looking to get an impactful, high-intensity workout in less than 30 minutes, this could be a good match. A mix of sprints and bodyweight strength exercises, Kahne’s routine works the upper and lower body and is something you can do even if you don’t have access to a gym.

For those looking for a little extra competition, take Men’s Journal’s advice and challenge a friend to see who can complete the circuit first:
- Warm-up with a jog for three minutes
- Sprint for 1/3 mile. (As you get fitter, you can increase the distance; Kahne does anywhere from a half to full mile.)
- Immediately after the run, do 20 lunges on each leg
- Do 30 squats
- Do 30 push ups
- Do 50 toe touches (make this slow and controlled; you shouldn’t be jerking up and down)
- Do 50 leg lifts (lie on your back and lift both legs simultaneously, as high as you can while keeping your lower back glued to the ground)
- Rest one minute; do the circuit three times total.
