We’ve all been there – sometimes, motivating yourself to exercise can feel like pulling teeth. After a long and exhausting day at work, the last thing we want to do is go and exert more energy at a gym. It’s easy to think that because of a lack of motivation and energy, we should just skip the gym altogether. While listening to your body and resting when needed is extremely important, sometimes all you need is just 5 minutes a day. Of course, you won’t get in the best shape of your life by only working out for 5 minutes, but it’s better than nothing. It also forms a habit for yourself, making it easier to get yourself to the gym on those long workdays.
