10 Minute Workout

Quick 10 minute workout that is effective and easy to perform, if you struggle to find time for the gym this workout is for you.

You might not think you can do much in 10 minutes, however you can just as long as you perform the exercises with good technique and put in the required amount of effort. With a 10 minute workout you can burn calories and even tone your body.

Who is this workout for?

This 10 minute workout is ideal for anybody wanting to improve their fitness and burn fat, this workout will burn calories which can lead to burning body fat.

How often should you use a workout like this?

I would recommend doing a workout like this at least 5 times a week, you could even do this workout 2 or 3 times a day.

10 Minute Workout

This is a complete 10 minute full body workout that trains all of the major muscles in the body.

Do these exercises without rest unless stated

Exercise 1 Arm circles

Stand up straight, start with your arms at your side, now rotate your arms forwards or backwards, you can keep your arms straight or slightly bent.

Rotate forwards for 1 minute then backwards for 1 Minute.

Exercise 2 Jogging on the spot

For this exercise to be at its most effective keep your knees nice and high, your thighs should be parallel with the floor at the highest point, for extra effectiveness use good complete arm movements as you perform the jog.

Do for 2 minutes.

Rest for 1 minute

Exercise 3 Press ups

Use good form, lower yourself all the way down to your chest, in the up position you can straighten your arms or leave them slightly bent, this will give added benefit as it keeps more resistance on your chest, triceps and shoulders.

If you can't do full press ups, you can do them on your knees.

Spend 1 minute doing as many of these as you can, include a 1 minute break and then do another 1 minutes worth of press ups.

Rest again for 1 minute

Exercise 4 Star jumps

Stand up straight with your feet together, arms to your side, then jump out with your arms just above shoulder height and your feet about 3 - 4 feet apart, then jump back into to the start position.

Do for 1 minute
