Designed in the style of Exercise Snacks. Once you learn the movements in this 30-minute session, you can use this fun 2–3 minute dance break to add variety to your Exercise Snack routine after a meal.
Science shows that short bursts of exercise can be even more beneficial than longer workout sessions. “Best of all, once regular exercise becomes a normal part of your weekly routine, muscle becomes more sensitive to blood sugar and is capable of consuming more of it – even on days when you’re not exercising.” says researcher and assistant professor from the University of Toronto Jenna Gillen. Just 8 minutes of activity after each meal is all it takes to meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. These small bursts of movement can make a big impact on your health. Start incorporating Exercise Snacks into your daily routine and feel the difference—it's easier than you think!
