En r\u00e9alit\u00e9, pour garder un corps et un esprit vraiment sains, il est beaucoup plus important d'adopter un mode de vie qui inclut une activit\u00e9 physique r\u00e9guli\u00e8re. Cependant, le rythme de la vie moderne est parfois effr\u00e9n\u00e9, et nous nous d\u00e9courageons parfois de faire de l'exercice, pensant que nous n'avons pas assez de temps pour caser une s\u00e9ance dans notre emploi du temps charg\u00e9.\nLes mini-s\u00e9ances d'entra\u00eenement sont un excellent moyen de briser cette croyance limitante, de modifier votre programme d'exercice et d'introduire une activit\u00e9 physique m\u00eame lorsque vous n'avez pas beaucoup de temps libre.
