10-Minute Express Workout

By Annett Davis on Tuesday, July 30, 2013

Time and money are the two most common excuses given when someone is asked why they don’t workout. Last week I shared tips on how to get fit without a gym membership.  This week I’m getting rid of your second excuse, not having enough time.

When I tell people that they can complete a good effective workout in just 10 minutes they look at me like I’m crazy.  The truth is, you can! There is no need to spend an hour walking on a treadmill daily.  Small bursts of exercise can help increase your metabolism and your heart health.

Don’t let the lack of time stop you from exercising. My husband Byron always says, “Do what you can, with what you have, right where you are.”  If you only have 10 minutes and nothing except your body, you can still workout.

In this workout plan I have included all of your major muscle groups.  A little cardio and strength training make this express workout complete so you can feel great on your busy day. This workout is not designed for you to do on a daily basis.  It is for those special days when you don’t have time to do anything else.

As with any new exercise routine always check with your physician to get their approval before beginning.  If you feel pain or extremely uncomfortable at any time please stop immediately.

    Hi. I have a uterine prolapse and I am not supposed to do jumping jacks, burpees or mountain climbers because they put too much strain on my pelvic floor. Are there any other exercises I could do to get the same benefit without further damaging the pelvic floor?

      Hi Sarah- The only one I can recommend are kegels. :) The best thing to do in your case is to ask your doctor he/she knows what exercise are best in your condition.

      Blessings-
