Keeping fit should be a priority in everyone’s lives in order for our bodies and mind to remain healthy. But, not all of us physically have the time to do 40 minutes of exercise four times a week, we get it. If this is you, then first things first, don’t beat yourself up about it. Try these five quick exercises instead to get your heart pumping and body moving. All you’re going to need is an exercise/yoga mat, your favourite workout shoes and 10 minutes spare (so you can even do it while you’ve got tea on)
According to the NHS: “Exercise just once or twice a week can reduce the risk of heart disease or stroke.” The recommended physical activity time is 150 minutes a week of “moderate intensity activity” – that’s just around four 37 minute sessions. You could therefore couple this workout with one of our longer 20 minute bodyweight workouts but, don’t forget, you can also do really easy things like walking. Remember, doing a little bit is better than doing none at all.
