For a lot of people, their motivation is out the window. A lot of this can be blamed on the pandemic. Our gyms were closed down, fitness classes were not allowed to happen anymore and we were left stuck inside. For some, we are still working on the motivation to get back into our regular workout routines. Do you ever think to yourself, “that is going to be too hard so I am not going to do it”, or “I will only last 10 minutes of that 30 minute workout so why even bother?” If these questions hit home, then we have some news for you. Even if you can only do 10 minutes of exercise a day, it is seriously so good for your body mentally and physically.
What can just 10 minutes of exercise really do?
Movement is always good period –– whether it’s 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour. We were made to move! Just 10 minutes can really do a lot for one mentally. After working out for 10 minutes, you will immediately feel more energized, more mobile, more productive, and most likely in a better mood. We aren’t talking quite the same after a runner’s high but certainly better than before when you were doing nothing at all. Plus, these small workouts can really help you start forming those habits you are longing to get back into anyway. It is truly a win-win.
Even though you won’t probably notice immediate benefits from working out just 10 minutes a day, think long-term here. Check back in with yourself in 6 months to a year. You’ll have improved your heart health, mental health, strength, and just overall well-being. Plus, maybe you are working out for more than 10 minutes by now too! Go you!
