If you’re anything like me, then your attention span is probably about as short as your free time. In a world of competing deadlines, content overload, life admin and back-to-back social plans, I’m often reminded of the phrase, “little and often”, which my dad has been drumming into me since I was revising for my year 6 SATS tests.
As it turns out, there's a method to his wisdom. Research shows that 25-minute periods of focus on a single task are optimal for productivity, and over the years, I’ve found that the mantra works wonders for keeping on top of work, avoiding ‘hanger’, and even managing the laundry pile. But I’ve always wondered: does the same apply to exercise? Do short, consistent bursts really rival a full training session?
