If you have been meaning to exercise but life is busy, a 15 minute routine can be enough to get momentum. The goal is not exhaustion, it is consistency.
The routine, 15 minutes
- Two minutes, brisk walk on the spot, or up and down the hallway
- Two minutes, gentle bodyweight squats or sit to stands from a chair
- Two minutes, incline push ups against a bench or wall
- Two minutes, step ups on a low step, or marching on the spot
- Two minutes, hip hinge pattern, slow good mornings with hands on hips
- Two minutes, easy plank on knees, or dead bug movement
- Three minutes, cool down, slower breathing, light stretching
Keep it safe
If you feel dizzy, short of breath beyond normal exertion, or unwell, stop and seek review. If you have injuries, modify or choose walking instead.
If symptoms are persistent and you want a clinician view of your broader health picture.
