Micro-Workouts: Achieve Fitness Goals with Short Bursts of Movement

  • Micro-workouts are short bursts of movement (10-20 minutes) that make fitness a daily habit.
  • Akshay Verma, Co-founder, FITPASS, highlights that micro-workouts remove barriers of time, access, and consistency, especially in India.
  • The body responds to cumulative movement done consistently, whether through one long workout or multiple short ones.
  • Effective micro-workouts include HIIT micro-blasts, core circuits, mobility flows, desk-friendly strength moves, short walk bursts, and yoga breaks.
  • Micro-workouts fit real lives, lower mental barriers, democratize fitness, prioritize habit over intensity, and compound silently for better health.

Why It Matters: Micro-workouts offer a realistic and accessible path to fitness by integrating short bursts of exercise into daily life.
