| 10 minute sessions throughout the day adds up |
When you can’t fit in a 60-minute workout, that’s okay. SparkPeople says we need to get rid of the “all or nothing” mentality when it comes to exercise. Multiple 10-minute workouts throughout the day can be just as beneficial to our health and our fitness plans. Of course, these multiple 10-minute workouts add up throughout the day, so keep that in mind when you think that 10 minutes just isn’t enough to make any differences.
SparkPeople recommends you follow a similar schedule to the one below for your 10-minute workout:
1-2 minutes – warm up (include stretching)
7 minutes – medium to high-intensity workout
1 minute – cool down (include stretching)
When I know I will not have enough time to do my workout in one session, I like to do some of the following things:
For strength:
+ Use resistance tubes
+ Push-ups
+ Lunges
For cardio:
+ Climb stairs
+ Stationary bike
+ Treadmill
Just remember, every bit counts.
