Episode Transcript
In today's episode of two minutes of motivation. I'm going to be sharing with you three ways that you can incorporate more movement into your days if you are pressed for time. I chatted with Jimmy DeCicco this week, and Jimmy is one of the co-founders of Super coffee. He's also an incredible athlete and that conversation really inspired me to talk about movement and exercise today.
I know life can be busy, so I'm going to be sharing three things that you can do. If you are pressed for time, always talk to your healthcare provider about recommendations specific to you. And this is meant for informational and educational purposes only it is not medical advice.
Okay. So the first thing is something called a HIT workouts.
HIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This is my go-to if I want a really intense workout and I'm pressed for time. So you can get your heart rate up, you can get a really great workout in a short amount of time, anywhere from five minutes and they go up to 20 minutes or more. HIT is basically high intensity for a period of time and then a break and then you repeat that for however long you do the workout for.
So this is great if you've only got 10 minutes and you want to get in some really great cardio and maybe even some weight-bearing exercises as well.
Now, the second thing is if you have a lot of meetings during the day, if you're on a phone, if you're on your phone a lot during the day, take those calls and take those meetings while you're outside on a walk.
So incorporate walking meetings, and that is such a wonderful way to get more movement and add more steps into your day. It's also great to clear your head, you know, who doesn't want to take a call outside in the fresh air.
Now, the third thing that you can do is set your alarm a little bit earlier. Morning is an incredible time to set the stage for your entire day. So, if you can get up 10 minutes, 15 minutes earlier to get a workout in, that would be incredible, and that really can benefit you in so many ways. If that's too much, set it for eight minutes earlier and start there, build the momentum, and then maybe you'll find that you want to set your alarm for 30 minutes or 40 minutes earlier to get those longer periods of time in the morning.
I hope that this helps you. The three things again are number one, HIT workouts. Number two, walking meetings, and number three, set your alarm a little bit earlier to get that workout in first thing in the morning. And until next time, this is Kristel Bauer with Live greatly inspiring you to awaken your ultimate potential.
