Part of the struggle to working out is that there's just not time to do it. It takes time to muster up the motivation to actually work out, it takes time to do the workout, and it takes time to clean yourself up after you get all gross and sweaty. So much time... But does it have to be such a time consuming activity?? What if there were simple workouts you could do during the day where you didn't have to shower after?
I just tried doing these workouts today and it actually worked pretty well! These workouts are designed to give you quick boosts of energy, focus, and stress relief in a short amount of time!
Here is one example!
Timer set for 7 minutes, AMRAP (As many rounds as possible)
(If you aren't familiar with any of these exercises, click on the link to learn how to do them!)
This only takes seven minutes and you barely break a sweat! It's a workout that you can do at any point in the day, or multiple times during the day. But if it's only seven minutes it causes you to wonder.... is it really doing anything?? Matt Ragland from The Simple Gym makes an excellent point:
"Short workouts may seem unnecessary and unhelpful, but there’s a growing body of research that is showing the benefits. It’s easy to make the excuse of thinking “I don’t have time” or “A 5 minute workout isn’t worth it.” But when we take the time to consider the benefits of movement, the inverse almost seems silly in comparison. “I can get all the benefits of being happier, productive, and less-stressed, just by moving around a bit!?”"
Take the time to move! It does a lot more for you than you think.
