5 minute super intense cardio, as a replacement for long, low intensity cardio. It is easier to motivate oneself to do 5 minutes of Your-Heart-Might-Explode cardio than two hours of jogging or something. In fact it takes very little motivation, if you trick yourself into doing it right after waking up, when your brain is on autopilot anyway, and unable to resist routine.
Interesting, I had the complete opposite experience. I previously had the idea that exercise should be short and really hard, and I couldn’t stick with it. Then I learned that it’s better if the majority of your exercise is very easy. Now I go for hour-long walks and I get exercise every day. (Jogging is too hard to qualify as easy exercise.)
