A groundbreaking study by UK Biobank has highlighted the profound impact of brief three-minute bouts of exercise. The research revealed that even short bursts of activity can significantly benefit health. The study involving 30,000 participants also demonstrated that physical activity between 6pm and midnight held greater advantages for obese individuals, who exhibited lower risks of premature death and cardiovascular disease mortality.
To embrace the benefits of three-minute workouts, consider incorporating High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), cardio, or core strengthening exercises into your routine. HIIT workouts effectively elevate heart rate in a short time frame. Start with 30 seconds of star jumps, followed by bodyweight squats, and conclude with mountain climbers. Repeat this sequence thrice with 20-second breaks in between.
For a cardio-focused workout, perform burpees, high knees, and skipping for 30 seconds each. Allow yourself a 30-second rest before repeating the circuit three times. To strengthen your core, hold a plank position for 30 seconds, followed by Russian twists and leg raises, each for 30 seconds. Repeat this sequence three times with 20-second breaks.
