For many people, lack of time is the biggest obstacle to staying in shape. But, experts say, you may be overestimating the amount of exercise you really need to do at the same time. Instead of spending an hour in the gym, what if you could get in shape with 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there during the day?
There is no question that small
amounts of exercise can help you get in shape, help keep you fit, and help you maintain your health, "says personal fitness trainer Susie Shina, author of Sixty Second Circuits." You can keep fit in increments as short as 4-5 minutes at a time.
