[S1 E27] Hot Take Summer: Short, Sweet Micro-Workouts to Hack Your Daily Fitness & Fat Loss Goals
Micro-workouts for fitness success?
The greatest barrier to fitness for many of us is the belief that effective workouts must exceed 45 minutes to 75 minutes. While longer workouts provide more time for challenging your body and yielding ideal results, they are not always necessary to achieve your desired fitness level. You can get the same benefits by consistently incorporating shorter workouts into your routine. The key is to make Microworkouts easily accessible for yourself, as this will enhance your ability to stick to your routine and establish long-lasting habits, which ultimately lead to fitness success. A routine is essential for your body to get into a space where you can build habits. Habits are the long-term game-winning strategy.
In today's episode, I will talk about Micro-workouts and how they can contribute to your fitness success. If you feel intimidated by long workouts or your routine does not give a leeway for long-format workouts, this episode is for you. Stay tuned to the end and discover how you can hack your workouts and implement Micro-workouts alongside your menstrual cycle to achieve the goals you are looking for in your health in less time.
