Too busy to exercise? A new exercise trend promises to put that notion to rest by sneaking in small titbits of exercise (or exercise snacks) in your otherwise hectic schedule. “Exercise snacking involves doing brief periods of physical activity throughout the day, instead of one long workout session. These brief exercise ‘snacks’ usually range from one to 10 minutes,” says Jashan Vij, a health and fat loss coach. Elaborating further, he adds that the concept of exercise snacking is based on gathering small bursts of activity that cumulatively offer the same health advantages as a longer exercise session. It highlights the importance of regularity and ease, enabling people to remain engaged and active all through the day without requiring a fitness centre or specific gear.
