An intense 5 minute workout is far more beneficial than an hour of walking on a treadmill at a leisurely pace.
Boosts the power of your brain! Exercise, regardless of the duration is known to have immense benefits for your brain. An improved feeling of well-being, improved memory, improved coordination and a far greater reaction time are all a result of exercise that you will reap regardless of whether youre training for 5 minutes or 50 minutes (this is providing youre focused and keep your workout intense!).
It actually does improve your fitness level The circuit/high intensity interval style training that comprises these 5 minute workouts will have you performing a large variety of exercises from jumping jacks, sprinting, push-ups, pull-ups, kettlebell swings, high knees etc. these are all functional exercises what this means is the strength, cardiovascular and mobility gains youll reap by performing these exercises in the form of the proceeding 5 minute workouts will transfer over into your everyday life, sports skills and the like (this is not apparent for bodybuilding style routines/exercises that place a large emphasis on isolation exercises). Happiness and a sense of accomplishment
Theres a saying that goes something along the lines of exercise is cheaper than a therapist. As comical and sarcastic as this may sound I personally find it to be 100% correct. When youre struggling to see the positive side of things, feeling mentally fatigued or simply finding yourself unproductive performing physical exercise is the quickest and most efficient fix.

Once youve blasted your way through a 5 minute workout and get that release of feel good endorphins youll go back to the problems, issues and challenges that you previously faced with solutions and a new outlook. When Im suffering from writers block whether this be for a book, a blog post or an email a quick blast of some cardio circuits seems to give me the mindset I need to overcome it and power through. Gets your metabolism firing If fat loss is your end goal then circuit based high intensity training (in the form of the 5 minute workouts Im about to present to you!) is your answer. The combination of cardiovascular and strength based exercises really get your metabolism firing, not only for the 5 minutes youre performing the workout but also for an extended period of time afterwards this is due to the recovery process coming into full swing. You see, when you walk on a treadmill your body is only burning a slightly larger number of calories than normal while you are walking on that treadmill. On the other hand when youre performing a mixture of compound movements together in an interval/circuit style regime youre fatiguing your body and essentially ripping your muscle fibers.

In order to repair itself after your workout your body will be burning an increased number of calories (via an ongoing boost in your metabolism) to assist with this process. Now thats a good return on investment.
