For many, the biggest hurdle to exercise is how much time you spend doing it. Finding an hour to hit the gym can be impossible between work, family, and other endless daily obligations. While this is true for all of us, it’s even more so for celebrities, but somehow, they manage to stay in shape despite their busy schedules. According to celebrity trainer Luke Worthington, their secret is the “micro workout.” A micro workout is just how it sounds — an exercise completed in a very short time, possibly within five minutes. ARE MICRO WORKOUTS EFFECTIVE? If you’re wondering if working out for only five minutes makes a difference, a 2021 study found that even four seconds of intense exercise can improve your health. In this study by the University of Texas at Austin, a group of individuals cycled at maximum effort for four seconds on a stationary bike, then rested for 15–30 seconds. Participants repeated these four-second intervals 30 times three days a week. This totaled to about two minutes of exercise each day, or six minutes total for the entire week. The results? Participants all showed G et F it in 5 M inutes ! THE CELEBRITY FITNESS TREND THAT WORKS
improved cardio and anaerobic power, meaning they could output more physical energy while using less oxygen.
Another study by Nature Medicine found that for people over the age of 60 (who did not exercise regularly), small bursts of energy for even two minutes showed a 50% decrease in death from cardiovascular complications and a 40% decrease in risk of dying from cancer compared to those who did not incorporate a micro workout. These bursts of movement even included climbing stairs or walking fast. HOW CAN YOU INTEGRATE MICRO WORKOUTS INTO YOUR SCHEDULE? Just find 2–5 minutes in your day for a micro workout and perform any exercise you feel comfortable with — even just walking at a fast pace will do the trick!
So, next time you have a few extra minutes in your day, get moving! Your health will thank you.
A RISING STAR IN THE FIELD

such a dedicated effort into our hiring practices. We want to hire the right people so we can provide you with the assistance you need. At the beginning of the year, we added Amanda to our team as an attorney. Over the past few months, she’s proven to be a reliable and knowledgeable source of support for our clients in their time of need. Amanda began her journey toward a law career while still young. She had a high reading level early on and grew very bored with books aimed at her age group. Her mom was a paralegal who decided to challenge her then-8-year-old daughter’s reading ability by giving her a John Grisham novel, which Amanda loved. From that point on, she was hooked on the legal profession. Amanda got her bachelor’s degree from Georgia Tech before starting law school at the Charleston School of Law. After obtaining her Juris Doctor degree, Amanda worked for a large family law
firm for nearly eight years before seeking a change of scenery, which brought her through our doors.
Amanda is incredibly passionate about her work and always puts her clients first. She loves working on cases that involve children and helping them get the support and assistance they need. Amanda is married to a man with two children from a previous marriage, so she fully understands the trials and tribulations of kids from separated families and wants to do her best to help them. We’re not the only ones who have noticed Amanda’s great work in the legal field. She’s received the Super Lawyers Rising Star award two years in a row. When Amanda is away from the office, she usually spends time watching sci-fi shows and movies with her family. We’re so glad to have Amanda on our team, and we know she will continue doing extraordinary things for her clients.
When you need an attorney for a family law matter, you want to ensure you get the best help available. In many instances, your and your children’s futures depend upon your case’s outcome, so it’s not surprising you’d want to work with the best. That’s one of the reasons we put
