You have heard me talk about micro workouts frequently—I have called them the greatest breakthrough in the fitness industry in decades—so I am very excited about the acceptance of demystifying and decomplexifying the act of performing a workout and making it accessible and convenient for anyone, at any time, to engage in brief bouts of physical effort that have so many wonderful health and fitness attributes. 
In this episode, I talk about the research that is now backing up my excitement about micro-workouts, confirming it is indeed a highly effective strategy for health, fitness, and disease prevention, as well as a wonderfully refreshing evolution in the fitness industry, which is by and large, fraught with programming that is too complex, overly stressful, and exhausting to many participants—I’m referring to the offerings at fitness facilities, the protocol delivered by most personal trainers, and the group exercise programs where people train for extremely grueling endurance events and push themselves too hard. While this is certainly better than sitting at home and not moving, there does seem to be a pretty pervasive all-or-nothing approach to fitness, and this is where micro-workouts come in. As you will learn in this episode, there are many reasons why micro-workouts (or exercise snacks as one study calls them) have been scientifically validated to have such incredible benefits, and even sprints as short as four seconds long have been proven to have a surprisingly potent effect on the body.
