For decades, fitness culture glorified long, high-intensity sessions. But recent peer reviewed studies challenge that idea. Research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2022) found that “exercise snacks”, short bursts of movement lasting 2–5 minutes, can significantly improve cardiovascular and metabolic health when accumulated throughout the day. Climbing stairs during work breaks, performing squats while waiting for coffee, or taking brisk 5-minute walks after meals can together rival traditional gym sessions in total health impact.

 

Pilates classes are very in at the moment. The ones where you get on a machine and basically do intense core work for an hour straight. The gym gurlies have been putting their rugby player boyfriends to the test and the gents have been nearly crying! Why not turn your very own desk/ office into a pilates studio.
