If you hate exercise and you don’t have time to work out, this video is for you. So many people just don’t have time to exercise. They have a very busy lifestyle and so this video is for that person. Working with tens of thousands of people over decades, I realize that most people are not lazy. That’s not their problem.

I think the biggest reason why people give up is because the exercise that they’re doing doesn’t align with their biology. Just hear me out. If you tell someone you have to drive to a gym, find parking, pay for the gym, get on a treadmill for 45 minutes, which is very artificial. A lot of people have resistance to that because it’s just so unnatural. Not to mention, we’re wired to avoid pain and boredom, and that’s very boring, and sometimes it could be very painful.

But what I’m going to show you today is a much easier way to inject exercise into your lifestyle without feeling like you’re even exercising. So, let’s go through the list. Number one, every hour you’re on the computer, okay? You take a break and for just 3 minutes, you do a highintense exercise, whether it’s push-ups, burpees, any highintensity exercise just for 3 minutes. So, if you’re on the computer for 8 hours, okay, times 3 minutes, that is going to add up.

The benefit of these short workouts are huge and they’re definitely equivalent to a full workout. And it’s something that everyone can do because it’s just a few minutes squeezed into your current schedule because it’s very very bad to sit at your desk for eight hours and I’ve done it for years. All right, number two. How about a 4-se secondond workout? Can you afford 4 seconds?

Of course, we’re not just talking about 4 seconds. We’re talking about doing a 4-se secondond workout 20 times in a given day. And I’m talking about a highintensity 4 second type workout, whether it’s jumping rope or sprinting. This type of workout is very therapeutic to the body because you’re creating this wave approach and you’re spiking your pulse rate in a high intensity way. Only four seconds.

So, it’s very easy to do, but you just do it spread out over time 20 times. Anyone can do a 4 second workout. You just do it repetitively because a number 13, if you make your goal [clears throat] ridiculously small, it makes it doable. Something is better than nothing and it does add up. Okay.

Number three, 15 minutes every week of weight training can create significant improvement on your muscles. 15 minutes once a week. This is another thing that I think most people can do. And I’m talking about working as many muscles as you can in one workout. And 15 minutes is not a long time, but it’ll create a significant effect on your muscles.

Especially as we’re getting older, we have what’s called age related muscle loss. is called sarcopenia. And the way that you counter that is by working your muscles. Let’s talk about number four. A lot of people are on the phone.

Do you get on the couch while you’re on the phone? Do you sit down? No. You should be walking around, pacing around on your phone, going for a walk. That way, you can kill two birds with one stone.

Number five, when you’re watching TV, don’t sit on your couch. Sit on the floor. I did a video on this. One of the best tests for mortality is to be able to get down on the floor and get off the floor without using your hands. A lot of people can’t do it, but if you start practicing that as you get older, it’s going to help your longevity.

So, these are all simple ways of countering the effect of age on our body. One of the good positions would be a squat position. That’s another thing that will actually open up the flexibility of your hips. It’ll help your posture. It’ll help the strength of your legs.

And so, it’s an exercise that I personally am doing myself. At first, it was really difficult. Now, it’s becoming easier. All right. Number six, doing work outside on a daily basis.

Exposing yourself to the sun while you’re doing physical work. Whether it’s in the garden or you’re fixing something. What I do a lot of times is I will get an axe and I will go cut down a small tree that’s dying in the woods on my property. I have a very thick woods and there’s always some dead trees. I will work on cutting that down with an axe.

It’s a great workout. It doesn’t take me a long time. I’m outside and so being outside you get oxygen. You get the sun. What do you get from the sun?

You get serotonin increase. You get nitric oxide for the arteries. You get vitamin D. You get infrared, which will increase your mitochondria. So, this is one of my favorite things and I highly recommend everyone get out there at least a half hour or an hour a day at least.

Number seven, solius push-ups. What’s the solius muscle? That is one of your calf muscles and it’s a very unique muscle and it doesn’t get tired. And you can actually underneath your desk when you’re sitting, you can raise your knee up and bring it down pumping the soius muscle both alternately or at the same time. But what’s really unique about that muscle, there’s some research to show that it can help balance your insulin and blood sugar, which is quite interesting.

And so this is another simple hack that everyone should do while they’re at their desk. So they’re not just sitting there, you know, doing the work. They’re actually killing two birds with one stone. Let’s talk about number eight, walking after each meal. This is another thing I highly recommend.

After you eat, go for a walk. go for 15 minute walk to burn off any sugar that you just consumed in your diet because if you consume some sugar and you don’t burn it off, guess what? It’s going to be stored as fat. Number nine is just an extra thing you can do. You’re adding more weight to the body.

They have these weighted vests and some of them are 5 lb, 10 lb, 20 lb up to 50 lb, which actually adds more resistance to your workout. And it’s just another extra little thing that you can do if if that interests you. Number 10 is using creatine. This is a supplement you can get and you combine this with strength training. It will help you get more energy and strength when you’re working out because one of the barriers that people have is I don’t have enough energy to work out.

So this can give you some more energy to work out and also enhance your performance. A couple other things that you could do to get more energy is to take more magnesium. Not only is good for relaxing your muscles and helping you sleep and preventing cramps, Charlie horses, but it’s also essential for making energy. So, magnesium is important and also vitamin B1. B1 also can help increase your energy.

And there’s one more thing that can increase your energy and that’s potassium. And just as a side note to that, if you are tired, the only exercise I would recommend is walking, not any high intensity. And I’m talking about mainly tiredness from a lack of sleep. Okay. 11 has to do with just the thoughts about exercise.

So many people are into this mindset like, I know I need to exercise. I’m going to get around to it. what they should be doing is have a different mindset of I am someone who is in motion. So basically you want to put yourself in the state where you’re already that person, right? Not like I’m working towards it because then you’re always going to be working towards it.

Let’s talk about number 12. A lot of people try to lose weight to get healthy, but that’s not the way to do it. You want to first get healthy to lose weight. You don’t get healthy when you take a drug to artificially lose weight. Well, right now there’s a class action suit having to do with blindness because of that drug.

A lot of people exercise to lose weight. What they should do is t
