I got to try out BreakPal.com for 2 weeks, and I actually avoided my regular workout in this time just to see if I noticed a difference or if this workout really wasn’t helping me as much as my usual 30-60 minute cardio/strength training work out.
When I got all signed up on the site, I was upgraded to the Premium User (you can get access to more exercises this way) but they also offer a FREE user version, so you can get great exercises for free as well!
For the Premium User, I was given several different workouts to choose from, including different yoga moves, cardio kung fu (yes you can even get in some cardio at your desk, and believe me it got my heart rate up when I tried it out), Chi Gung (which reminded me a lot of tai chi) and other great stretching moves.
I would do about 4-5 each day, since most exercises seem to run about 5 minutes long. I broke them up through out my day and only did about 2 at a time max.
I was REALLY impressed with these exercises! They were new and different and you could do them in your skirt or pant suit no problem, right there at your desk! All exercises required very little room to work in, so if you work in a small cubicle, you can still do these work outs efficiently!
I loved that the cardio kung fu really did get my heart rate up and my breathing going. I also loved doing some of the strengthening exercises. The day after I did the block lunge instructional, my legs were sore! I really thought doing some of these quick 5 minute exercises wouldn’t get me sore, but they proved me wrong!
My favorite part was not having to carve out a 30-60 minute block of my day for working out. I loved that I would work at my computer for awhile and when I started to feel restless or my energy level take a dive, or like I just needed a good stretch, I would do one of the workouts and would feel reenergized and ready to get back to work! I absolutely loved using these short workouts throughout my work day and loved that by the end of the day I felt like I had got enough exercise in that I didn’t feel guilty about skipping my regular workout!
Along with the awesome exercises on BreakPal.com, you can also get daily reminders from Break Pal, as well as access the app from your iPhone (in case you can’t use your work computer for surfing the web).
BreakPal also has a great community where you can connect with others, find motivation to workout, and keep track of your progress!
I absolutely loved using BreakPal and have found it to be one of the easiest workout programs I’ve ever used, because it is so convenient and only takes a few minutes here and there! Do you ever wonder what to do with your 15 minute break at work? You can squeeze in a few of these exercises and come back to work feeling more re-engerized and focused! I loved that the workouts were short and fun but also really worked my body! I loved that they made me feel good for getting up from sitting and actually doing something with myself for a few minutes at a time! BreakPal makes it so incredibly easy to fit fitness into your day, no matter how busy your workday is! Instead of running to get your next cup of coffee, squeeze in one of these micro exercises and you won’t even miss your coffee!
Sitting in front of a computer for hours on end can be so bad for your health. I know we all hear how important it is to get up and stretch every hour, (but who actually does it, I know I don’t) so let BreakPal help motivate you to do just that, AND get your workout in for the day!
