One of my preferred ways of working out is by doing 10
minute workouts.
They're quick, intense and leave me huffing and puffing
long after the 10 minutes is complete.
But I'm a personal trainer and already in good shape, so
are they effective for the everyday person looking for fat
loss? Can you really do a 10 minute workout and expect to
lose fat?
My answer to that is a resounding YES!
If you are someone who says they really don't have that
much time to workout and that's what's keeping you from
losing the weight you've put on, then 10 minute workouts
are definitely for you.
Or, if you know you have a busy week coming up and are
worried that your regular workouts are going to have to be
put on hold, then 10 minute workouts are also for you.
The most important thing to remember when doing 10 minute
workouts is that you need to throw out the time wasting
exercises like bicep curls, triceps kickbacks and crunches
and stick to exercises that work your entire body or at
least a good portion of it.
I'll give you an example of what I did earlier today. I had
a very busy that was packed full of clients, however I had
a 30 minute window where I needed to get a few things
accomplished, one of them being my workout.
So here's what I did after my quick warm-up:
1) 1-Arm Dumbbell Swing supersetted with 1-leg Decline
Push-ups
2) Dumbbell Squat w/Shoulder Press supersetted with
Dumbbell Bent-Over Rows
I did each of those supersets for 5 minutes completing as
many sets of 10 as I could. After I was done with 1 set of
the first superset, I would rest for 20 seconds and repeat.
Then, when 5 minutes was up, I went on to the second
superset and did it in the same fashion.
By the time that 10 minutes was up I was huffing and
puffing, and my heart rate stayed elevated for a while. I
still felt pumped up for quite a while into my next
training session.
So give that workout a try, or come up with your own. Just
make sure that you pick exercises that use a lot of muscle
groups like push-ups, squats, lunges, rows, etc. and stay
away from crunches and isolation exercises.
