Too busy – or lazy – to spend hours at the gym? Well, breathe a sigh of relief, as a recent study has shown it’s possible to benefit your health with just three seconds of exercise a day.
In fact, according to fitness, wellness and nutrition expert Penny Weston, founder of MADE wellness centre, there are plenty of ways to keep your mind and body in shape that only take a few moments out of your busy day. “When we exercise, the body releases chemicals such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, which boost our sense of wellbeing and suppress hormones that cause anxiety,” she explains. “But exercise doesn’t have to be running marathons or lifting huge weights – the key is experimenting until you find something you enjoy and is a suitable level for you.
Just a few seconds a day could be all you need.” And keeping in good health is not just about exercise. Simple motions like a few seconds of smiling or even staring can have incredible benefits. “Research has found that the act of smiling actually tells the brain to release endorphins and serotonin, which will boost our mood, improve confidence and reduce stress,” explains Penny.
And staring is ideal for people who work on a computer all day. For every 20 minutes you look at the screen, take a 20-second break to stare at something at least 20 feet away.This can help with eye strain, focus and brain power.
