The people do 30-second sprints are better than the people who don't do any exercise. Do not underestimate the 30-second duration. It indeed has the same benefits as the people who exercise in 40 to 60 minutes.
Besides having sprint, you can have jump rope for three minutes or squat jump. All of them are good for the heart. If you live in an urban area, you can have sprint blocks for everyday exercise. Just like you run for the bus.
- Have a 'Deskercise'
You can do this exercise in between your working hours. Download Break Pal, the application for helping you in this affair. The application will monitor you every half hourwith the notification ring on your phone. If it rings, stand up and have a three-minute exercise. Although it is short, it burns your calories than just chatting in your chair.
- Have More Effort to Do Something
In this stage, just put aside the instant way of having something. For example, grabbing some food on your own on foot rather than use the delivery service. Although it is just a simple and small thing to do, you will get the benefit of your fitness. So, don't always depend on the other person, do it yourself.

Normally, we will be happy and motivated if we are complimented and get a reward. Therefore, you can improve your motivation by rewarding yourself periodically. So, after measuring your fitness level through the Fitness Test and prove that you have reached the goal, reward yourself with something you want. For example, have a vacation or have a long body treatment and spa.
