How to Turn Daily Habits Into Mini Workouts

 

How to Turn Daily Habits Into Mini Workouts

If your schedule is packed, don’t try to find extra time — make your habits do the work for you!



1. Brush & Squat
Do squats while brushing your teeth — 2 minutes of brushing = 20–30 squats.

2. Waiting for the Microwave?
Do calf raises, counter push-ups, or jumping jacks while you wait.

3. Bathroom Break Lunges
On your way to or from the bathroom, do 5 lunges down the hallway.

4. Laundry Lifts
Turn laundry time into strength training — squat while lifting baskets, or do bicep curls with detergent bottles.

5. Stairs as a Workout
Take the stairs more than once. Go up and down twice for every trip.

💡 Bonus Tip:
Think of movement as part of your day, not something extra. A few minutes here and there really add up!
