You don’t need a gym to get fit.
How?
Embrace micro workouts: mini workouts done throughout the day.
If you can’t find the motivation or time to go to the gym, use this method to stay healthy and work towards your physical goals.
How to Do A Micro Workout
Pick a workout and set a goal for the number of reps you want to finish for the day.
For example, 100 jumping jacks or 100 squats. I like to set a goal for 100 burpees.
Then, divide the reps around specific events or times: before meetings, after bathroom breaks or the beginning of every hour.
Here are two examples of what that looks like.
In college I had to read through big sections of textbooks to prepare for midterms and finals.
To take make the most of my study sessions, I did 20 push-ups every time I finished reading a chapter.
By the time I finished studying, I’d have 100 push-ups under my belt.

Every day, I scroll through 24 hours of #goldenretriever posts to find content for an Instagram account I run.
