When many people are asked why they don’t work out, one of the main reasons is the lack of time. However, is it just that you don’t have enough time or you are simply feeling lazy? For my March 2021 monthly hobby for the ‘body’ I decided to do a 7 minute workout every day after school. It doesn’t take much time, allows you to keep fit and allows you to have some me-time. In this article, I will share my experience, evaluation, advice and rating for this hobby.

My Experience:

• Right after school, I would take a rest and then get out my exercise mat.
• I would choose which workout I preferred to do from the different choices.
• I would do this 7 minute workout and listen to some music. 
• Then, I would drink plenty of water and take some rest.

What I Learnt/What Went Well:

• I really enjoyed the fact that it became part of my routine that I could do.
• I felt happy that I was doing something for my health and I knew that 7 minutes of high-intensity exercise is better than nothing.
• I started on the 8th March and remained consistent at it for quite a long time. 
• I managed to do it for 16/31 days. 
• It was quick, fun and easy.
• I liked how I could choose which workout I wanted to do.

Even Better If:

• I didn’t do it consistently for 30 days which is completely fine.
• I wish the music in the app was slightly better but that was okay as you are free to listen to your own music.
• I would want to increase the level of difficulty and the number of calories and possibly do it more times.

My Advice:

• Incorporate some time in your routine to do the workout every day.
• Track your progress every day in the app and increase it regularly.
• If you struggle to find the motivation to workout, have someone to keep you accountable.
• Make your workouts fun by listening to something fun (I listen to music by Ikson).

My Rating:

I would rate this hobby a 4.5/5.
