Story at-a-glance
- Micro workouts are brief, high-intensity exercise sessions that last 10 to 15 minutes. They’re accessible for people with busy schedules or limited exercise options
- Research shows that doing just one high-intensity workout per week lowers cardiovascular death risk by 39% in men and 51% in women
- A Danish study found that just 10 minutes of workplace exercise reduced long-term sick leave, preventing 13% of extended absences
- The benefits of high-intensity workouts level off after a point. Doing more than one to two sessions per week doesn’t offer added protection and may slightly reduce cardiovascular gains
- To begin structuring your micro workout routine, aim for two to three short cardio sessions and two strength workouts per week, focusing on core and large muscle groups
