The One-Minute Workout
Don’t have time to exercise? Or more accurately, don’t want to MAKE time?
Joshua Spodek explains the power of doing one exercise for just one minute–the burpee.
This classic exercise works every part of the body and even gets your heart rate up. Check out this video to see how to do it.
Not a fan of the burpee? Check out the Move app for iOS. At intervals you specify, you’ll be alerted that it’s time to exercise with a different activity lasting about a minute.
If you have a minute, what you don’t have is an excuse not to exercise.
Have an Inspired Day by moving for a minute.

I often take 1 minute breaks while I’m working on the computer to do push-ups or lunges or pull-ups. I may now have to include burbees in my 1 minute workouts!
Caleb, you’re smart to take exercise breaks. If I could only do one exercise, burpees are what I would choose. Thanks so much for commenting.
I’ll stick with my bike riding and Bowflex. My back and knee problems would not allow this to even be a possibility. I was told in 1993 not to jump, run or twist (Like swinging a bat). I have done neither since. Watching the girl for one minute was tiring.

Bill, this post is for people who don’t exercise. Besides, if you started doing burpees, you’d be burpeeguy–definitely not as cool.
Definitely not as cool. Oh how bad would that be. Burpeeguy’s Spin. I can’t even go in circles. Suspect doing more than burping. LOL

Hmm, I could get into 1 minute exercise! I’ll have to check it out. Today I took a little yard work break. I puzzled over my writing problem while I weeded the flower beds, then came back into write and it went much more smoothly. I’m going to try to keep doing that – it will be good for my gardens AND my writing! I imagine these little one minute exercises would work the same way. I’m off to check it out!

Oh no! I was afraid it was that kind of burpee! That looks like a lot of work! Maybe I better try the 20 second workout …

You can also come up with a list of exercises you like that you could do for one minute. Set a timer to go off at the interval you choose and do one of them. Simple!
