Happy Monday!
This just keeps getting better. Last week, our Micro Workout kicked butt with a 3 exercise circuit that could be done in less than 2 minutes.
This week, we add a twist! Not only will our Micro Workout burn away fat as usual, but it will also help improve your mobility.
It will help you be more mobile, move better, and will also give you added flexibility in all of the spots that naturally tighten up when you spend all day sitting at your desk in front of a computer. And best of all – it will help you FEEL GREAT! Doing mobility exercises is tremendously therapeutic and relaxing. If you do these right, it will feel like more of a relaxation session than a workout. Sweet!
Watch the workout below:
This Micro Workout is less than 3 minutes long and utilizes 4 exercises:
- Reverse lunges: 30s per side (60s total)
- Ankle Mobilizations Against Wall: 20s per side (40s total)
- Thoracic (Upper Back) Extensions: 30s
- Shoulder Dislocations: 30s
Total Micro Workout Time: 2 minutes 40 seconds
So within those 2 and 2/3 minutes we’ve worked enhanced your mobility in your ankles, hips, upper back and shoulders. No equipment (aside from a broom!) necessary. Not bad for less than 3 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 3 minutes to spare over the course of this week (if you say that you’re too busy to spare 3 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 3-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.
