We have been talking a lot lately about short bursts of activity, it got me thinking...   Here's a couple of ideas of things you could do just whilst you are waiting for the kettle to boil.   It's all movement, so all adds up!

Yoghurts there is a difference
Instead of small pots of yoghurts which tend to have a high sugar content try Greek Yoghurt with berries or fruits, nuts as an alternative.

So much nicer, contains fibre & gets your protein up! This could be a good breakfast too & enables you to have a good source of protein at that meal.
but….

There is a BIG difference between the protein content in:
🇬🇷Greek Yoghurt 
Ξ Greek Style Yoghurt
​
If you are looking to increase your protein at each meal, look carefully at your food labels.

 Short Bursts of Activity, is it worth it?
Research shows that short burst of exercise during the day can help with:

1. Time Efficiency
Short duration (as little as 4–15 minutes) fits easily into a busy schedule.
Ideal for people who struggle to find time for long workouts.

2. Improved Cardiovascular Health
Boosts heart health by improving VO₂ max (maximum oxygen uptake).
Can be as effective as longer moderate-intensity workouts for heart function.

3. Increased Calorie Burn
Short, intense sessions raise your heart rate and metabolism.
Triggers EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), meaning you burn calories even after the workout ends.

4. Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Beneficial for preventing or managing type 2 diabetes.

5. Mental and Cognitive Boost
Enhances mood, focus, and energy levels.
Increases production of endorphins and other "feel-good" neurotransmitters.
​
Can be done at home, outdoors, in the gym or just whilst you are waiting for the kettle to boil!

I'm setting up a 'Summer Group' throughout August where you can access lots of short (10-15 mins) workouts.   Contact me if you would like to join, click the link to send me an email:  [email protected] or text me: 07798 754029
