Micro workouts are short, usually 2-5 minute workouts, generally that can be done without the use of any special equipment. This allows for micro workouts to be done at any time in any small space. Micro workouts are sensible for several reasons:

Micro workouts recoup otherwise lost time. Throughout the day there are often many small segments of time which would be otherwise wasted. These include things such as waiting for a download to complete, waiting to cross the street at a busy intersection, waiting to board a transportation service such as a bus or train. All time that can be easily recouped with micro workouts.

A micro workout reinvigorates the body and boosts brain function. Our lifestyles have moved to becoming far more sedentary. Office jobs subject the body to unnatural sedentary states. Since movement is natural to the body these sedentary states are extremely unnatural. Our body was meant to have alternating states of movement and rest. To maintain proper function and reduce the risk of adverse health effects there must be whole body exercise throughout the day. Because micro workouts reinvigorate brain function and metabolism overall productivity is gained throughout the day.

Micro workouts add up. Exercise is cumulative and a number of micro workouts throughout the day can add up to the surgeon generals suggested 30 minutes of exercise per day.

Micro workouts are becoming a popular method of fitting fitness into a busy lifestyle.
