Howdy!
Last week, we had a killer first installment in our Micro Workout of The Week series, and we’re following that up with an even better second week. (If you missed the first installment of our Micro Workout of the Week series, go check it out right away to see what this is all about).
This week, we have a 3-exercise, total-body, fat-blasting Micro Workout that you can complete in less than 2 minutes. You can watch the workout in action below:
This Micro Workout is less than 2 minutes long and utilizes 3 exercises:
- Lateral lunges: 20s per side (40s total)
- 1-arm wall pushups: 10s per side (20s total)
- Mountain climbers with hands on chair: 30s
Total Micro Workout Time: 1 minute 30 seconds
So within those 1and a half minutes we’ve worked the lower body, upper 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 see 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.
