Get your blood flowing. 93.7% of Minute Movers report an increase in Energy, alertness, and strength.

Forget reaching for that 2nd cup of coffee in the morning or that energy drink to fight off your mid-day slump.
Increase strength and flexibility
The Minute Movement® routine includes a mixture of isotonic (still) and isometric (moving) exercises, with some basic yoga moves thrown in the mix, to help with strength, flexibility, breath awareness, stamina and endurance. Not only will you look and feel better, you will have stronger back and core muscles to help counteract the effects of sitting for long periods of time.
Be strong all of your life - Sustainable
The principles of the Minute Movement® can be applied throughout your life – optimizing health in your youth and in your wiser years. The program can be done by anyone, anywhere, at any time of day and at any age.
Convenient
You don’t have to spend hours in the gym to get and maintain a healthy body. Minute Movement® has carefully designed a fitness routine that engages every part of your body with simple-to-do compound movements.
Less Stress
Regular physical movement not only improves your body, but also mental function. Exercise increases energy levels and increases serotonin in the brain, which leads to mental clarity and less stress. In addition to being more productive, the regular breaks during the day lead to increased self awareness and feeling more in tune with your body.
Fun
We’ve taken movement and made it fun, remember what that is? The movements fit into your already taxing life. Great if you have a gym memberships, and special equipment. Your desire is the tool you need to succeed.Plus, the hourly breaks give you a chance to reset your body and will quickly become something you look forward to in your daily routine.
The Science
The good news is that regular, short periods of physical activity can help offset the negative impact of sitting and finally get you in shape. “Short-burst” exercise (also called High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT) involves brief, intense motion that occurs over minutes rather than hours.
A number of research studies support this HIIT type of exercise:
The University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center study shows that exercise performed in shorter time frames with more intensity provide equal or better results than a traditional cardio workout.
A study from Harvard Medical School reported that short-burst HIIT exercises resulted in cardiovascular benefits and had the same calorie-burning power as a 30-minute workout at the gym.
A study published in the Journal of Physiology described the effects of these short training bursts as “similar or even superior” to the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal benefits of longer workouts.
In fact, an independent research study done by The University of Kansas Department of Health, Sport and Exercise Sciences on the Minute Movement® program in 2014 – with the same amazing results!
Over the course of five weeks, study participants completed one minute short-burst HIIT exercises at the top of each hour during their workday (an eight hour time period). At the end of the five week period the group had experienced an average of one pound weight loss per week, as well as decreased inches around the waist, lowered blood pressure and fasting glucose. All participants gained significant increase in strength, energy and balance. In addition to the group results, individual outcomes included a total body fat loss of 4.8%, a ten pound increase in muscle (Lean Body Mass), and a 20.5 point reduction in total cholesterol.
“Not only are my energy and happiness through the roof. I’ve been able to leverage the method to help me lose weight and I’ve also been able to quit smoking. My life has taken such a positive turn, I can see myself sticking to this program.”
So Long, Excuses
Minute Movement removes the barriers that hold most people back – time and money.
The Minute Movement program helps you get fit in just minutes each day!
Minute Movement optimizes your time by breaking down daily activities into 60-second intervals throughout day. You don’t have to workout for 30 minute at a time to see results and achieve better health. In fact, recent studies have shown that if you sit for long periods of time, even if you exercise regularly, you are at a higher risk of many dangerous health complications like heart disease, back pain and more. Scientists have discovered that it is better to spread movement throughout the day to counteract the dangers of sitting – and that’s exactly what Minute Movement is all about – simple 1-minute exercises done at the top of every hour to get your blood pumping and oxygen flowing. Moving your body actually increases energy and this patent pending method of short bursts of movement throughout the day will keep your metabolism going strong – without leaving you sweaty. You will feel better than ever before.
