Happy Monday!

As I’ve alluded to in previous posts, we’re going to be starting a new segment here on the blog called ‘Micro Workout Of The Week’, where I share a 1 or 2 minute micro workout that you can use throughout the course of your daily activities to burn away body fat and get your metabolism on constant overdrive.

Before I get into the workout itself, let’s have a little refresher.

What Are Micro Workouts?

Micro workouts are short workouts that are used specifically to burn fat and raise your metabolism, but with a twist.

Instead of requiring 20 or 30 minutes (or more) of available time out to be effective, as is the case with ‘regular’ workouts, micro workouts are designed to fit into even the smallest of time frames – even, as short as 1 minute – making them ideal for busy people who simply don’t have a large amount of time to spend working out each day.

You see, instead of having to carve out one large chunk of time to work out every day, the busy person can simply repeatedly harness the power of performing lots of small Micro Workouts over the course of their day, all of which add up to create a cumulative fat burning effect. It’s a classic case of using lots of little ‘micro’ steps to get a huge amount accomplished. Pretty soon, all of those little 2 minute workouts that were squeezed in between other activities add up to 15 or 20 or 30 minutes of exercise a day.

And with each of these workouts being optimized for fat loss due to their use of the principles of interval training and circuit training, that adds up to a lot of fat burning action.

So Without Further Ado…

Here’s an actual Micro Workout for you to see in action.

This particular Micro Workout is about 2 minutes long and utilizes 3 exercises: Y-squats, table pushups and 1-arm table planks. So within those 2 minutes we’ve worked the front and back regions of the upper body, the entire lower body, and the core. No equipment necessary. Not bad for 2 minutes of exercise that could easily be done at your office desk, at your dining room table, in your living room, or anywhere else.

So Here’s My Challenge To You:

Every time you have 2 minutes to spare over the course of this week (if you say that you’re too busy to spare 2 minutes then you’re lying to yourself!), quickly jump out of your chair and do this micro workout. On any given day, you could probably find at least ten 2-minute windows of opportunity to do this. Do these Micro Workouts in addition to any normal workout routine you have. At the end of the week, see how you feel. I’m willing to bet that the exercises will be a lot easier than when you first tried them, and you’ll notice a noticeable difference in how healthy and fit you feel. Maybe you’ll even notice a little change in the mirror (but expecting that after just one week is a little unrealistic, so that would just be gravy).

Anyway, give it a shot and let me know how it worked out for you. Was it too hard? Too easy? Did you notice any results? How many Micro Workouts were you able to squeeze in per day on average? Lay it all out in the comments below as the week unfolds.
