As busy parents – time is not always on our side. Sometimes every minute counts. If you have a workout planned for the day – most often then not it is sacrificed for the needs of others that we serve. Â
Truth be told, we dump that workout because we have been told by the powers that be (still don’t know who they are) that we need around an hour for it to be beneficial. An hour? Seriously? Do they not know that an hour in a busy parents schedule is like a day?
The true power that be – that being science (exercise science) – has proven time and time again that you don’t need the “magical” 30 minute, 45 minute or hour long workouts – you can greatly improve your fitness, body composition, and health with workouts of just minutes per day. Goes back to that old saying…Quality over Quantity.
To show you exactly what I mean I wanted to share a sample from my Busy Parent Health and Fitness program. This workout can be performed in around 12 minutes.
