What can you do in 2 minutes? 10 minutes? 30 seconds? What can you do with the time that you have? In today's fast paced world most everybody has become a master at multitasking, I'm currently in the process of adding Microstasking to my time management skills. Microtasking is finding little things you can do to help you get ahead on what you need done for the day to help free up time later in the day.
Another way of microstasking is to get in miniworkouts when you don't have the time. To get in a full workout. So, your day is packed and unexpected tasks keep popping up, no matter how much you multitask today, you just aren't going to have time to hit the gym or go for that 30 walk, but you don't want to miss out on your workout today. Focus on what you CAN do right now! Got 2 minutes while you wait for your dinner to cool down enough to eat it? Do some jumping jacks or foot fires or push ups or crunches. Got another minute before the next load of laundry is ready to be folded do some squats or curl some hand weights or run in place.
Ok so this isn't the heart pumping muscle building workout that leaves you with that sense of accomplishment that you're used to, BUT it's better than nothing! You're still burning a few extra calories!
