Micro-workouts, often called “exercise snacking,” are short bursts of movement spread throughout the day instead of one long gym session.
Think of them as quick five-minute sets of bodyweight moves between tasks, a short stair climb, or a resistance band break while making coffee. The beauty is in their flexibility, you don’t need equipment, a gym membership, or even a full half hour carved out.
These micro-sessions add up, boosting cardiovascular health, strength, and mobility while breaking up sedentary time. Research shows that frequent mini-bouts of activity can improve energy, sharpen focus, and support long-term consistency, because the barrier to getting started is so low.
In other words, exercise snacking makes fitness something that slips into your life naturally instead of competing with it.
