If your summer vacation means an internship, full-time position, or even a vacation where your workout time is tight, this half an hour elliptical workout is your workout made in heaven. It has all the muscle burning qualities of a full 45-minute to 1-hour workout, but expedited over your lunch break!

On the left is your time, in the middle is your resistance level which is manually adjusted, and if your elliptical includes a SPM measure (strides per minute) you can keep pace with the estimates on the far right:
