Bodyweight Exercises: Length Counts (No, Not That!)
Experts tell us we should exercise 30 minutes a day, for either 3 or 4 or 5 days a week. Some experts say the 30 minutes should be all in one workout routine. Other ones say it can be broken up (1 20-minute period, 1 10 minute period). You know what exercises fit this best? Bodyweight exercises and gardening!
This is actually pretty good for us. If your average day is anything like mine - there is no average day! Just this week, for example: Monday I had to drive 2 hours (one way) to a 3-1/2 hour hearing; Tuesday was a trial that lasted from 9:0 a.m until 4:30 p.m.; Wednesday was another hearing (this time 2-1/2 hours and only 1 hour away); Thursday was 4 2-hour meetings with clients; and Friday was an office meeting. Now, next week....
All that driving, all that time in court or in meetings, really puts a crimp in my ability to exercise. It also cramps sticking to a consistent weight loss eating plan. But next week is not so much time commitment, so I can get 30 minutes in probably every morning.
Having a fitness routine that can vary from 8 minutes to 60 minutes allows me to take maximum advantage of the time available. This week, for example: Monday was a 30 minute morning routine and Tuesday was a 15 minute yoga routine after work.
