Anastasia Rine, a fitness influencer and personal trainer, understands the challenges of fitting exercise into a busy schedule. Her active lifestyle approach emphasizes short, effective workouts that can be done anywhere, ensuring even the busiest individuals can stay fit and energized.
Anastasia’s favorite go-to routine is a series of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises. These workouts are designed to maximize effort in a short amount of time, typically lasting only 20-30 minutes. By alternating between periods of intense activity and short rest, HIIT workouts boost cardiovascular health, burn calories, and improve muscle tone quickly.
One of Anastasia’s top recommendations is the “7-Minute Workout,” which includes exercises like jumping jacks, wall sits, push-ups, abdominal crunches, step-ups onto a chair, squats, tricep dips on a chair, plank, high knees running in place, lunges, push-ups with rotation, and side planks. Each exercise is performed for 30 seconds with a 10-second rest in between.
For those who can’t carve out even 20 minutes, Anastasia suggests integrating micro-workouts into daily routines. This can include taking the stairs instead of the elevator, doing a few squats while waiting for your coffee to brew, or performing desk stretches during work breaks. These small efforts add up, keeping your metabolism active and your muscles engaged throughout the day.
Anastasia also emphasizes the importance of consistency over intensity. Even if you only have 10 minutes a day, regular movement is key to maintaining an active lifestyle. By incorporating these energizing exercises, anyone can stay fit and healthy, no matter how busy their schedule.
