Mini Workouts Are The Solution To Your Busy Schedule Because Multiple Short Sessions Are Just As Beneficial As One Continuous Exercise Routine

A study showed that doing 10-minute walks in the morning, midday, and afternoon lowered blood pressure more than performing one 30-minute walk in prehypertensive individuals.

There are really no downsides to mini workouts. These shorter sessions are better than not working out at all and will help you make fitness a lifestyle habit.

Here are some ideas for mini workouts you can do whenever you’ve got the time. Aim for three minutes of movement 10 times a day.

If you have stairs in your home, perform 30 seconds of double step-ups every time you walk past them.

You could also do 30 seconds of bodyweight lunges while waiting for your coffee to brew, after each trip to the bathroom, or when you get up from your seat.

Store a set of dumbbells under your desk and do bicep curls for 30 seconds and shoulder presses for another 30 seconds while on the phone or during a quick break.

By breaking up a longer session into bite-sized workouts, it’s a lot easier to find time to exercise and take control of your health. Fitness does not have to be all or nothing—it’s fun and flexible!
