Tip #2 - Short Mini-Workouts I know you’re busy as
most people are and you don’t have time for marathon-style workout
sessions 3 to five times a week. Most
people don't need to exercise that much or that often and nor do you. Short bouts of exercise
are as effective and sometimes even more effective if done progressively
than traditional exercise routines. The reason is that these short
mini-workouts can be done daily (even multiple times per day) and this
gives your metabolism a boost more frequently. Just 10 to 15 minutes
of moderate to high-intensity cardiovascular or aerobic exercise every day
will increase blood flow and circulation, burn some extra calories, and
most importantly give you that little boost. Another reason is short
mini-workouts are more convenient and practical for most people. Even if
you have no equipment at home you can still get that all so important
boost in metabolism. Here are just a few ideas: 1. run upstairs and
walk back down run – repeat that for five or so minutes and you'll be
exhausted. Plus, you'll totally elevate your metabolism and increase blood
flow and circulation and have you feeling great! 2. perform 10 minutes
of calisthenics (jumping jacks, kick butts, high knees, jog in place,
mountain climbers, etc) 3. take a quick 10
minute power walk. Walk nearly as fast as you can and over time try to
increase your distance and/or speed Mini-workouts can work
extremely well so don’t be afraid to experiment. Grab my new ebook, "101 Fitness Tips" now totally FREE!
