Micro-Workouts 2025: How to Transform Your Body in Just 12–15 Minutes a Day
🗣️ "I don't have time to go training."
🗣️ "If I don't go to the gym for 2 hours, my body won't change."
📌 Introduction:
No time for the gym? 12-15 minute micro-workouts are shattering all the myths: you burn fat, gain strength, and move your body without sacrificing your schedule. In this post, you'll see why they work, an example of a quick routine, and how to integrate them into your daily routine.
🚀 Why are 12–15 minutes enough?
High-intensity interval training studies confirm that short bursts of exercise generate hormonal peaks (GH, testosterone), recruit fast-twitch fibers, and prolong calorie burning thanks to EPOC. Plus, since they fit into your morning, afternoon, or coffee break, you can accomplish them without excuses!
