5 Minutes to Fitness Video brought to you by ADVANCE in association with Peter K.
Whether you are healthy or have a chronic illness, getting started with an exercise routine can be the biggest hurdle. Peter K recommends starting with 5 minutes. Add 5 minute increments as tolerated with a goal of 20-30 minutes 5 times per week.
Use bodyweight and resistance bands, starting very gently with 5-10 reps to start. If it's too much, go through the motions without using the bands. Add in essential movements of functional resistance exercise using five basic human movements:
- diagonals
- push
- pull
- squat
- lunge
