While sitting in a chair, keeping one foot flat on the floor, bend your other leg and place your ankle on top of your bent knee so that your legs form a “4” shape. Place your hands on your bent leg, lean forward slightly, and rotate toward your left side, then toward your right side. Continue alternating between the two positions, rotating left and right, for two minutes or as long as possible. Repeat on the opposite side.

Danny King, a master trainer at Life Time,  created three mini workouts — one upper body, one lower body, and one core (below) — each designed to take no more than 10 minutes. They can be done alone, stacked, or performed separately at different times on a given day. Doing one (or more) of these mini workouts might even inspire you to try another fitness activity, such as walking, cycling, or yoga. They’re also great options for active recovery.
