If you're short on time and motivation to work out, exercise snacking may be for you. All you need is a few minutes throughout the day to make the most of this expert-approved fitness trend.

Exercise snacking uses bite-sized bouts of exercise throughout the day, anything from walking up the stairs to a quick 10-minute workout with a pair of the best dumbbells or resistance bands, to accumulate minutes. By the end of the day, you may have spent at least 30 minutes exercising. Per advice from the NHS and other health bodies, we all need to do at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. Exercise snacking can help even the most time-poor individuals reach that number in just five days.
