We're officially in the thick of one of the busiest times of year. All that time you might have had in, say, September, for your hour-plus visits to the gym are dwindling, but that doesn't mean you have to miss out the benefits of those workouts. Instead, cut down your routine to the most intense — and most effective — moves.
