Crunched for time? Do these 4 mini-workouts to lose weight super fast
In the day-to-day hustle, it’s hard to fit everything in! Meetings plus doing household chores takes up all our time, so much so that we don’t know how to make time for exercise. But what’s important to understand is that you don’t need endless hours of workouts; all that’s needed is some intent and 10 to 15 minutes, every single day.
You may think only longer workouts are better, but that’s not true. These mini workouts are just as enough. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults should aim for a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise — or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise — weekly.
But even if you can’t manage, these short workouts will do the trick. So, let’s go!
