I read that 5 minutes of walking every half hour undoes most of the health problems from working a desk job. That felt like quite a lot of time, and so I developed a system where I do one minute of intense exercises every half an hour (e.g., jump squats, pushups, lunges). I even rotate the exercises by day, so on Mondays and Thursdays, I look forward to “Leg Day” and I get two arm days and core day. I keep a spreadsheet to track my progress throughout the year.
I’ve found I get a lot more than I give with this set up in terms of focus and overall happiness.
