We’re all full of excuses for skipping workouts and not getting in shape, one of the most popular excuses being lack of time. If a trainer suggests you spend an hour at the gym six days per week, fitness can seem like a huge commitment. Not everyone has that time! However, recent research suggests that long cardio workouts are not the only way to improve your fitness. A study performed at McMaster University tested the effectiveness of a 10-minute interval workout. The workout only had one minute of high-intensity exercise, the rest being warm-up or moderate intensity. Researchers found that this short workout delivered all the health benefits of a 45-minute steady-state cardio workout.
This fast workout plan consists of exercise routines designed after the McMaster study. You’ll be alternating between cardio, upper body, lower body, and total body workouts, lasting only 10 minutes per day. It’s a low-commitment plan that takes little time, but you’ll get to watch your endurance improve and your muscles become stronger.
The weeks are set up using an escalating layout. This means each week you will have to work just a little more than the week before. This setup will help you slowly build strength and endurance and will keep your progress from hitting a plateau. You only need to invest ten minutes per day and you’ll have a stronger, healthier body.
