But if you're serious about reaching and maintaining your goal weight, you need to find time to exercise. Add a few minutes each day. a simple five-minute exercise routine can make a big difference. Here is a seven-day jump-start challenge, set aside just five minutes each day to work out. This Simple commitment helps to ignite healthy habit changes and promote a positive boost in confidence.
Burn More Fat All Day
So, how many calories can you burn during a five-minute workout? It depends on how hard you work. You can burn up to 20 calories per minute with a high-intensity interval workout. But the real benefit comes after the workout is complete. An intense five-minute workout can help you burn more fat all day. You experience the "afterburn effect" for up to 48 hours after an intense workout. This is called post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). In simple terms, it means that your body consumes more oxygen and burns more fat and calories in the hours following an intense workout. So, your workout may only last five minutes, but the fat-burning benefits continue for the rest of the day.
Set Up Your 5-Minute Workout
There are a few things you should do to set up your five-minute workout for weight loss. First, you should make sure that you are healthy enough for vigorous activity. Make sure that you are properly equipped for your fitness level. A beginning-level, fat-burning mini workout doesn't require any special equipment. Most of the activities can be performed using your own body weight as resistance. But as you progress and become more fit, you can add medicine balls, dumbbells, or resistance bands to further enhance your "fat-burning furnace."
