If you need some ideas for 15-minute mini workouts, check out the list below: Walk your dog briskly around the neighborhood. Head to

Do a mini interval workout on the elliptical or treadmill. Start off walking for two minutes, jog for two minutes, sprint for one minute, jog two, sprint one, jog two, sprint one, jog two, and end with two minutes of walking.
