That said, since you're in a time crunch, a brief jog will do the trick. I merely suggest that you take it easy and spread your extra exercise over several activities, because psychologically it's easier to maintain in the long run, and it's less uncomfortable. The idea is to lose a few extra calories, not train for a marathon.
