You\u2019ll Never Use That Excuse Again With These 1 minute Work-Outs"},"content":{"rendered":"<h3>Fast Workouts at Home or on the Go<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve heard of the One Minute Workout, Cardio, Yoga, Broga, and several other kinds of &#8220;titled &#8221; workouts. But what about just fitting workouts into your day, all day long? What I mean is, instead of taking the elevator to your second-story apartment, why not walk up? While standing at the kitchen stove waiting for the water to boil, why not do some barre? (leg lifts, squats, lunges.)<\/p>\n<p>You Don\u2019t Need to Carve Out Hours At The Gym To Start Getting Fitter<\/p>\n<p>The idea of committing 2 hours, 3 times a week to working out at the gym is a big challenge for everyone. Especially if you have a busy job, kids to look after, and hobbies that take up your time.<\/p>\n<p>Why not start with something more manageable? While you&#8217;re on the phone you might do some arm workouts with weights. I mean light hand-weights, of course! (If you don&#8217;t have any weights, water bottles will do.)<\/p>\n<p>I ride the bike while I write my blogs for you. It certainly makes the time go faster. If I don&#8217;t write, it&#8217;s the most excruciating 15-20 minutes of my day. (Yes, that is a confession. I hate working out!)<\/p>\n<h3>Small Changes Can Equal a Big Workout<\/h3>\n<p>Some small changes you can make in your everyday life to start feeling fitter include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leave an extra 15 minutes so you can fast-walk to appointments (you might want to also carry a pair of sneakers and switch back into shoes when you arrive)<\/li>\n<li>Play with your pets at home, make an effort to throw balls and toys and dolls. My cats don&#8217;t chase them down and bring them back, so that forces me to run and go get them. So I run with my cats as well. It also makes me laugh: killing two birds with one stone &#8211; fulfilling my exercise and my laughter requirements both!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Exercise is Accessible<\/h3>\n<p>Exercise does not have to be formal. You don&#8217;t have to get your special outfit on and carry a water bottle around \u2013 exercise just has to get done. If you&#8217;re doing it all day long at one-minute intervals, then you are fulfilling all the basic requirements. You&#8217;re getting your heart rate up, stressing your muscles, and getting the blood flowing: you&#8217;re breathing. You&#8217;re also getting your work done whether its housework or office work.<\/p>\n<p>So come on, I know being a couch potato is more fun \u2013 but when your body looks and feels great, it\u2019s always worth the exercise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast Workouts at Home or on the Go You\u2019ve heard of the One Minute Workout, Cardio, Yoga, Broga, and several other kinds of &#8220;titled &#8221; workouts.
