SNEAKY WAYS TO GET YOUR DAILY EXERCISE WITH NANO WORKOUTS
Psst, don’t tell, but I sneak exercise into my daily routine in all kinds of sneaky ways. I do squats while brushing my teeth, buttocks squeezes while driving in my car and I jog in place while waiting for my cup of tea to boil in the microwave oven. Unless I hit the gym at 7 am when I am, frankly, not at my most energetic, I barely have time to squeeze in a decent workout. But now, a new book titled Nano Workouts, Get in Shape and Lose Weight During Everyday Activities by Joakim Christoffersson, takes my sneaky workouts a hundred steps forward with the most adorable illustrations and dozens more exercises than even crossed my overactive mind. Full disclosure: I was sent a complimentary copy of Nano Workouts to review for you. And additional full disclosure: I receive a lot of free things that I often don’t review because they are, frankly, not worth sharing. This one is.
OMG, this book is great, easy to follow, fun and is loaded with so many tips for sneaking exercise into your everyday life, it’s a must have in any busy person’s library. The book is grouped into locations where you can sneak in exercise moves and includes Office Workouts, Bedroom Workouts, Couch Workouts and even Bathroom Workouts. (Might as well make the time spent there work for you, right, vis a vis my teeth brushing squats.) Each exercise is given a difficulty rating and the adorable illustrations show you how to execute each move in the most delightful way.
Here’s a sample of what you can expect in Nano Workouts … how about working your upper arms while preparing dinner for your family? All you need is a kitchen towel. (You’ll have to buy the book to learn the technique – but I’ve been doing it for weeks now and hardly miss my arm workouts at the gym. Or, stretch your back while sitting on the toilet. I know. Who would have thought of this way to multi-task?)
Joakim Christoffersson, the creative mind behind Nano Workouts, is a busy man. He’s a designer, entrepreneur and innovator who works with UX design at Volvo Cars and is the owner of the Swedish underwear brand Gassling. He previously worked as an innovation specialist at Nokia with a focus on strategic work in the area of health and wellness. Busy guy. Plus, he understands physical fitness having more than 10 years of experience as a martial arts instructor. His busy days prompted him to figure out how to sneak exercise into his daily routine and the result is Nano Workouts.
Besides being fun and entertaining, Nano Workouts provides great information on sneaking fitness into your every day routine. Wall pushups in the shower, anyone? I’m in!
