But now there’s research showing that even really small sessions can have bona fide benefits.
They’re called exercise snacks.
These short-and-sweet exercise snacks help build cardiorespiratory fitness, a major indicator of overall health.
Participants repeated these mini workouts three times a day, each separated by one to four hours of rest.
They also appear to improve markers of insulin sensitivity and lower triglycerides.
No matter your fitness level, exercise snacks are an option for everyone.
“So these snacks can help break up sedentary periods.”
How’s that for a satisfying snack?
