Are You Up for a 21-Day Microworkout Challenge?
It’s an age-old debate. What’s the best exercise?
Deadlifts?
Pull-ups?
Planks?
You can have the most perfectly designed workout, but if you aren’t inclined to do it, it won’t do you any good. So, the answer is simple:
The best exercise is the one you’ll do.
Adding exercise to our daily routines can be overwhelming, sometimes leading to the point of skipping a workout altogether. We get caught up in our interpretations of what a ‘workout’ looks like: expensive equipment, an online or socially distanced group class, a grueling way to spend a precious hour of free time. Rethink the way you think about exercise with a microworkout. Instead of stressing and searching for elusive hours of free time, use your free moments throughout the day to sneak in movement and exercise, without adjusting your schedule or becoming excessively fatigued from a long workout.
I’ve found that you can get a great workout in, just a few minutes at a time, without all of the hassle.
Imagine not worrying about being near a gym, not worrying about whether or not you’re wearing workout clothes, not having to carve out a lot of time to get a great workout in, not needing to shower afterward. Plus, studies show that microbursts of activity throughout the day can be healthier for you than sitting at your desk for long periods, then working out all at once.
Microworkouts fit into every lifestyle and every schedule. Everyone has five minutes here and there to devote to fitness.
