Micro-Workouts
Do you have 5 mins free? You Don’t. Ok, 30 seconds is enough.
Micro workouts are extremely short (often 1-5 minutes) high-intensity movement. Exercises are performed multiple times throughout the day (Morning, lunch, dinner) to increase physical activity, muscle growth, and weight loss. The difference between a traditional workout and micro-workout micro-workouts is simple & quick. I like to use Tabata, a type of interval training involving doing eight rounds of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. Each Tabata lasts 4 minutes. You can choose just one exercise per round or many between two exercises, and you can also change up the circuit times.
Here are some exercises I do for micro-workouts. You can do a fast online search for more exercises. I have got creative with these and used water jugs and all sorts of fun things around home and outside. As you can see in the video, I shovelled the snow off the ice for my warmup & then did my workout in the cold. The cold is a bonus for fat loss.
1. Lunges
2. Pull-ups
3. Jumping jacks
4. Planks
5. Running up stairs
6. Air squats
7. Mountain climbers
8. Burpees
Building Your Micro-Workout
Set a timer & build it into your schedule. This helps build micro habits! That will turn into long-term success. My workout today that I’m teaching you is 5 Mins. Now you can choose anytime you want. You can download a Tabata timer on your phone to make it easier. Or use a watch to time yourself. 40 seconds work, 20 seconds rest, as many sets it takes to you at 5 min. You could add a small micro-stretch routine to your day for one more extra bonus. Or maybe a cold shower! Keep an eye out for more videos. I will be making creatives one’s for you to join along.
You got this!!!!!
