In the following blog, we’ll teach you how to perform exercises that keep you in shape and feeling your best. These exercises are universally applicable and can be performed with minimal equipment. Here are 5 fast workouts to stay in shape for 2022.
High-Intensity Interval Training
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a good workout for anyone short on time. This type of training involves alternating between periods of intense activity and rest. During the active portions, you’ll perform exercises that get your heart rate up to at least 80 percent of its maximum capacity. The more intense these bursts of exercise are, the shorter they can be—and the more effective your workout will be.
Researchers have found that HIIT workouts can improve both aerobic fitness and endurance levels, which is great news if you want to stay in shape but don’t want to spend all day exercising.
Foam Rolling
Foam rolling is a form of self-massage that can help increase blood flow to the muscles, decreasing soreness after exercise and preventing injuries. When you foam roll, you apply pressure to tight areas known as trigger points. This breaks up the tissue and helps promote flexibility. Foam rolling isn’t just for athletes: anyone who exercises regularly should incorporate foam rolling into their routine!
Boxing
Boxing is a great overall workout for many reasons. In addition to improving hand-eye coordination, it strengthens your arms, shoulders, and legs and helps tone them. It’s a high-intensity activity to help you lose weight and strengthen your core muscles. Being a full-body workout means that it will help build stamina.
The benefits of boxing are not just physical. However—a good boxing workout can improve mental health as well. An intense boxing session can be a wonderful stress release; the sport has been shown to help people struggling with anxiety and depression by reducing cortisol levels. The strong social support networks in many gym environments can also provide relief.
Even better? You don’t need a sparring partner or special equipment to get started!
A simple warmup: Jump rope!
Yoga
Yoga is a great exercise for flexibility and body awareness. It’s all about connecting the mind and body, so it helps with mindfulness and physical fitness. It can be done anywhere, alone or in groups. People of all ages can do yoga and benefit from it.
There are many more poses than the ones on this list, so look up more if you’re interested!
Pilates
In the early 20th century, German physical culturist Joseph Pilates described his exercise method as “the complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit.” In other words, Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength, and endurance movements. Pilates emphasizes proper postural alignment, core strength, and muscle balance.
Sounds pretty good, right? Well, some say it’s too good to be true. Stay with me here…
Staying in shape is easy when you do fast workouts!
The great thing about 5-minute workouts is that you don’t have to make time for them.
You don’t have to worry about gym memberships. You don’t have to worry about equipment. Don’t worry about hitting the gym at a certain time of day or getting in your workout before the rest of your family wakes up or after they’ve gone to bed. (With 5-minute workouts, you can even smash out a few burpees while the kids do their homework.)
And best of all, you don’t have to worry about changing clothes–you could do these exercises in your pajamas!
