Many people struggle with finding the time to work out at the gym. In these cases, they can perform a micro-workout, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT). These exercises are performed in short bursts of 10 to 30 minutes, including a warm-up and a cool-down.
The goal of micro-exercise is to increase the heart rate by about 80 percent so exercisers become winded but are not gasping for breath. This burns more calories in a shorter time than moderate-to-low-intensity exercises and combines both resistance training and aerobic activity to boost metabolic rate. These changes promote weight loss and minimize the damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle.
While some people may not think micro-exercises are effective, any physical activity has been linked to a variety of physical benefits. Studies have shown that performing micro-exercises for the briefest time is better than having no physical activity at all.
