"Maximizing Health with Micro-Workouts: Expert Tips and Exercise Snacks"

Micro-workouts, also known as mini workouts or exercise "snacks," involve short bursts of movement done multiple times a day to add up to a larger overall workout, offering a way to get exercise in more approachable chunks. These workouts can fall into two categories: 20- to 60-second sessions or longer sessions lasting around 3 to 7 minutes, providing benefits such as fitting movement into a busy day, covering cardiovascular, muscular, and flexibility aspects of fitness, and helping to lower cancer risk. Tips for starting micro-workouts include incorporating movement into daily routines and preparing a "menu of exercises" that can be done safely and comfortably.
