Doing This 2-Minute Workout Every Morning Completely Changed My Body

True to my millennial roots, I'm always seeking out ways to invest the least time while still producing equal or better results. Yes, you could say I'm "hacking" my way to success in fitness, and in life. Sometimes, it sends me down face first. Still, it ensures that I'm always learning from my mistakes.

I'm a huge fan of this Bill Gates quote: "I will always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job. Because, a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." This experimentation mentality that Bill Gates suggests can have huge impacts on our health and wellness habits. It presents us with the opportunity to shake up our metabolism, move our body and improve our mindset.

While searching out wellness hacks for my fitness app, Vea Fitness, I was recommended a very small, simple change by a friend. Little did I know, my perspective on life, success, and fitness would pivot, based on this tiny piece of advice.

Here's what I was recommended: Before starting each day, I do 30 pushups and 30 air squats. That's it.

The results were astonishing. I can't believe how amazing I feel in the mornings now. This routine creates a sort of energetic momentum or launch pad for the day. It's easy enough that I can always convince myself to work out, but challenging enough to make me break a little sweat.

In fitness and in life, everyone is motivated by different factors. Some need good music, others need good friends. Some enjoy rewards and instant gratification; and the reason I built an app that rewards you for working out. I personally enjoy earning immediate, tangible rewards for working out.
