FAQs

1. Can 5-minute workouts really help?

Yes! Short bursts add up, especially if done daily. They boost circulation, mood, and calorie burn.

2. How many calories can I burn?

Approx. 50-100 calories per 5-minute session (varies by intensity/weight).

3. Should I warm up first?

For high-intensity moves (burpees, jumping jacks), start slow for 30 sec to prep muscles.

4. Can I do multiple 5-minute workouts in a day?

Absolutely! Spread them out (morning, afternoon, evening) for cumulative benefits.

5. What if I can’t do all the exercises?

Swap for easier versions (e.g., wall push-ups, seated leg lifts). Consistency matters most!
