Short on time? Micro workouts are the biggest fitness trend of summer 2025, and with the right mat, you can crush your fitness goals in just minutes a day!
Between travel, events, and jam-packed schedules, summer can make it tough to stick to a traditional workout routine. That’s where micro workouts come in. These quick, high-impact sessions, typically lasting 5 to 30 minutes, are redefining what fitness looks like, and making it easier than ever to stay active all season long.
The best part? You don’t need a gym. With a little space, a good mat from We Sell Mats, and a few minutes to spare, you can build strength, boost energy, and stay consistent, right at home.
What Are Micro Workouts?
Micro workouts are short bursts of exercise you can fit into your day whenever it works for you. Whether it’s a 10-minute bodyweight circuit before breakfast or a 7-minute ab burner during lunch, these “movement snacks” add up. Studies show that exercising for multiple short bouts totaling the same as one continuous session can be just as effective as longer workouts.1 With micro workouts you can knock out a few high-intensity intervals in the morning; squeeze in a quick yoga flow after work; stack multiple sessions throughout the day to reach your goals.

Why Micro Workouts Work
Micro workouts are easy to fit into even the busiest schedule, making it more likely you’ll stay active throughout the day. Research has shown they can effectively boost strength, cardiovascular health, and mobility.2 Because they’re short and approachable, they also encourage consistency, which is key to long-term fitness success. In addition to the physical benefits, micro workouts can provide a noticeable boost to your mental health and energy levels. Plus, they’re incredibly beginner-friendly. Start with bodyweight movements like squats, push-ups, planks, and lunges, and build from there.
