I don’t know about you, but I am tired of being bombarded by high-intensity workouts, motivation to reach ludicrous step counts, and transformation stories in my social media feed. It's time to make space for slower, quieter, and more realistic exercise - like a 10-minute walking workout.
Fitness has become something to constantly track and share to the extent that it can feel like exercise is only relevant if it's competitive or excessive. It's enough to put anyone off before they have even started. Yet all you need to do to improve your health is 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week, with some strength training. Even five minutes of exercise in one go has benefits, but sessions of at least 10 minutes have been recommended by the World Health Organisation.
