Squeeze in minute workouts over holidays

20 Dec 2022 by Ted Escobedo 2 min read

Sometimes we have this idea that a workout doesn't "count" unless you spend an entire hour at the gym and leave sweaty and exhausted. But that's just not the case. Anything "counts" as exercise if it has you moving and gets your heart rate up. Doing a few smaller sessions throughout the day can even add up to a full workout if you're pressed for time. Rather than trying to fit in an hour-long class into your busy schedule, try doing a simple 20-minute body weight workout instead.

You can get a great workout in 20 minutes and if you stick to bodyweight exercises (sit-ups, push-ups, etc.) you can do them anywhere.Or, if squeezing in a 20-minute workout into your holidays isn’t possible, try the 5-minute rule. Commit to doing just five minutes of activity at a time. Often, the first five minutes of a workout is the hardest part. Once you get started, you'll start feeling it. The endorphins will kick in and you'll love it.
