Are you pressed for time and struggling to get the recommended weekly activity?
Spending 75 to 150 minutes per week exercising and performing resistance training 2 times per week can seem like a daunting task when you are working and have other time commitments (Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2018, p. 8-9). Did you know that you can break up the time into smaller increments and spread it over the week? Instead of 30 minutes at a time have you considered 5 to 10 minutes at a time?
Below you will find 5 simple examples to help you meet your goal.
The U.S. Health and Human Services has a great free activity planner, which will provide activity suggestions based on your preferences allowing you to quickly select activities that you like.
