Short on time? No excuse to skip exercise! Studies show that even short workouts are beneficial to your health. Even walking up and down the stairs at work or taking a short walk on your lunch break can improve your mood and improve the way your body uses blood sugar, thus lowering your risk of diabetes. Also, if you squeeze in a few mini-workouts throughout the day, you end up burning more calories than you think! In a recent study of sedentary men, health benefits were evident after only 2 weeks of doing four to six thirty second bike sprints every couple of days! Of course, longer workouts are ideal for burning calories and building muscle. But if it’s one of those crazy days, take five minutes to get your heart pumping…your body and mind will thank you.
To Your Health!
