Marilyn's Photoso - Aug 18 2025 - Let's micro-exercise
What is a micro-exercise? The promise is that it is short, high-intensity exercise sessions that last between one to ten minutes. Do this multiple times throughout the day.
Other names for it? "Exercise snacks." And these ones are a minute or less. Squat jumps for 20 seconds, stair climbing, or a 60-second run down the block.
They are "short-and-sweet" such as a 20-second bike "sprint snack" is which you pedal as fast as you can.
Everything to appeal to people who don't have time or attention to exercise.
"Preliminary research suggests that among people who typically sit for eight hours per day, those who completed five 4-second cycling sprints every hour during the workday (for a total of 160 seconds of exercise) had 31% lower triglyceride levels and 43% higher body-fat metabolism the next day. How's that for a satisfying snack?" - this comes from eatingwell.com
Seems odd to me that exercise is equated to eating - not sure that should be encouraged.
"Let's go for a juicy run." "Dig into those lunges for a quick minute."
