Welcome to day 16 of the step challenge.
How are you feeling about trying a workout today?
Whether you have a regular workout schedule or don’t workout at all, how about we give a quick 5-minute workout a try?
In the Sleekgeek Healthy Habit Library, we have 6 x 5-Minute Workouts and I’m challenging you to try one.
Before you roll your eyes and think that this is a gimmick, hear me out.
Amid our hectic schedules, it’s easy to let our physical well-being take a backseat.
However, this is precisely when maintaining our fitness becomes most crucial.
Walking more is great, but short, 5-minute workouts can be a game-changer.
They’re a way to inject energy and vitality into our days while reducing stress and helping us to stay consistent with our exercise habits.
Our workouts don’t have to be perfect to provide us with benefits. We need to shift away from that “all-or-nothing” mindset towards an “always something” mindset because something is better than nothing.
The people who manage to maintain the habit of exercising regularly (no matter how small the workout is) will be the ones who make the most progress over the long run.
So today, I want to encourage you to give one of these a try:
(Start small, with just 5 minutes, but you’re always welcome to scale them up into something more if it’s feeling good.)
This is a 5-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout using only one or two exercises.
This is a 5-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout using only your body weight.
This is a 5-minute full-body strength workout using a sequence of classic bodyweight exercises that will give all the major muscles in your body a workout.
This is a maximal results in the minimum amount of time (“Min-Max”) workout. It’s a quick and convenient 7-minute full-body workout that targets all major muscle groups using only your body weight and a chair. (Yes, it’s 7 minutes rather than 5, sorry not sorry!)
This is a 5-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout using a kettlebell.
This is a 5-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout using a dumbbell or set of dumbbells.
