Give an 80% sprint for the duration of every other song you listen to.

Keep a deck of cards with you.Every other minute pull two cards.The higher card indicates percentage of intensity and the lower card indicates the duration to keep the intensity.

If at home.Play video games.Every time you lose a life or get sent back to the beginning of a stage perform an all out sprint for 60 sec.
