The study, led by Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis of University of Sydney, which is awaiting peer review, looked at the impact of so-called VILPA (vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity) – where exercise is incidental and incorporated into your day to day life, such as stair climbing, carrying shopping, uphill walking, power walking or playing tag with your kids. “VILPA is a bit like applying the principles of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to your everyday life,” Stamatakis has previously said.

In the UK we’re recommended to undertake 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity a week (or an equivalent combination of the two).
Here are some expert-approved ideas to get you moving that are guaranteed to get your heart rate pumping. Each lasts just 60 seconds.
Power plié minute
“This is a fiery barre-inspired combo of strength, mobility, and cardio in under a minute,” says Catie Miller (@catiemiller), founder of Barre Series. “Stand tall with your feet wider than hips, toes turned out). Lower into a plié and pulse down for 20 seconds. Add heel lifts (right/left/alternating) for another 20 seconds. Finish with explosive jumps out of your plié for the final 20 seconds.”
Kitchen dance sprint
“Stick on your favourite upbeat song and dance flat-out for one chorus,” suggests Chapman. “It’s impossible not to smile, and the fast movement gives you a mini cardio workout while the body movement acts like kinetic therapy – shaking stress out of your system and lifting your mood. Think of it as fitness and stress relief rolled into one.”
Step-ups on the stairs
Stairs “are free gym equipment sitting in your house,” according to Chapman. “Take them as fast as you can on one step (holding on to the handrail), or climb the whole flight up and down for a minute. Either way, you’ll strengthen your legs, glutes, core and boost your heart health – these regular stair bursts can improve fitness in weeks.”
Barre bursts for arms and core
This sequence will elevate your heart rate while also sculpting arms and engaging the core, according to Miller. “Stand with feet directly under hips and soften knees. For 20 seconds: extend arms out from the shoulders and draw controlled circles. Start large with resistance, then shift into smaller, quicker circles in both directions. For 20 seconds: ‘barre boxing’ — rapid punches across the body with a strong exhale. For 20 seconds: high knees with arms overhead in a strong V.”

Squat jumps
To really feel the burn, explosive plyometric movements like squat jumps work the glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves and core. “From standing, squat down so the hips are just below the knees and then power through your legs to jump up into the air. Land back into the squat shape and repeat,” Parkinson explains. “If it’s too strong, stay grounded and do air squats, bending and stretching through the legs and feeling the burn!”
Relevés to hops
Miller suggests another ballet-inspired movement to raise your heart rate, build strength and tone the lower body. “For 30 seconds: rise onto the balls of your feet and lower with control (relevés) to warm up calves and ankles. For the next 30 seconds: progress into light, quick hops in place, like skipping rope without the rope. Smooth transition from strength to cardio that gets the heart rate up safely.”
