No equipment, no repeat exercises — this 7-minute core workout sculpts the abs and obliques

I wholeheartedly subscribe to the idea that anything is better than nothing when it comes to working out, and have found that if you’re training consistently, even doing just five to 10 minutes of exercise at a time can make a big difference.

Consistency means doing your micro workouts several times a week, and taking advantage of any small gaps in your schedule that appear to cram in some activity.
