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.
