I use a 7 minute workout app that is basically HIIT; lunges, squats, pushups, crunches, planks, etc. The morning is the best time for me because it starts my day off more energized and moving in the direction of my goals.
I used the 8minutes to do some yoga. With a Yoga app I could set the timer and the Yoga type. Short duration has helped me build a habit. I’m now focusing on extending the time for Exercise.
I walk my son to kindergarten every morning and walk myself back home. It’s usually about 15 mins of walking, total. On the weekends I try to go out for walks too but never force myself.
For 8 minutes I put on my exercise dvd and do a short workout like boxerise or sometimes I put the Hoover round the house and dance about with it at the same time. Cleaning music and exercise all in one fabulous ;))
My favourite thing to do is yoga in the morning, other days I have had a dance around the flat. On sunny days I’ve thought about going for a walk around the neighbourhood but I’ve not had the motivation to do that yet ! :)
I Can use a resistent band tot train met Chest, shoulders, back and arms. I Can do as a cardio excercise Some burpees en squats
I had the same question and after somedays I remember a video that I saw in the past about mobility: https://youtu.be/pc2xlLuCp4Y I do calisthenics, a body weight sport where you need to be flexible in some cases. Flexibility is really important for everyone actually, even if you don’t practise sport in general. I’ve just started doing these mobility exercise but I feel that is one of the best thing I can do. If you search others mobility exercises will find a lot. Even if you try to increase the heart pump in those 8 minutes some mobility exercises are perfect! Try some day and notice how your body react ;)
Depending on how my body feels I’ll either dance to music from my phone, play Just Dance on YouTube, do some yoga or just stretches. Anything is better than sitting around so I focus more on how can I at least move my body more right after I wake up. If I’m super motivated or have extra time I’ll go outside for a walk
I do a sequence of morning stretches and yoga: twists, squats, planks, walkouts, tree poses. Sometimes I’ll launch a 7-min workout from an app or my FitBit. Looks like The Fab has a few quick workouts, so does Nike Training Club. I like to do this between snoozes in my alarm. Makes me feel like I’m getting the goods on my old self. Personal records, baby.
If I have to Exercise for eight minutes I will do the exercise from the fabulous app but right now I am doing an hour every day at the CrossFit gym
