💪 Today’s tip: Try “exercise snacking.”

For many of us, one byproduct of “pandemic time” has been the near impossibility of making a schedule and sticking to it. And that includes the one routine almost everyone aspires to lock in: exercising.

Luckily for us all, it doesn’t take a huge time investment to make your fitness efforts count. As Adriana Velez writes for Elemental, “exercise snacking” counts. Exercise snacking can look like squeezing in a five minute burst of jumping jacks here, or ten minutes of MadFit on YouTube there. Even these micro-workouts will give you the science-backed benefits that make exercise such great medicine. You’ll get a mood boost, too.
