Don't get me wrong, I'm not adverse to physical activity, I simply don't have the time I had 10 years ago, or even two years ago. Between chauffeuring the kids, building my business and going back to college - I'm hard pressed for time to say the least! My solution? I modified my usual 30-minute workouts into a series of ten minute mini-morning workouts (I prefer exercising in the morning as it gives me a boost for the rest of the day). |
Here are a few suggestions:
WORKOUT VIDEOS
Follow your regular workout video for 10 minutes (equivalent to about two
upbeat songs).
AEROBICISE THROUGH ONE COMPLETE SONG
Make up your own aerobic routine to a song on the radio or On your
favorite CD. Don't be self-conscious! Who cares how ridiculous you look
while in the throws of a song? It's the end result that matters!
JUMPING JACKS OR JUMP ROPE
Easy to do, requires little space and no investment. Also good for your
cardiovascular system.
RUNNING IN PLACE
Did you know, if you run at a moderate pace you can cover a mile in 10
minutes?
BELLY DANCE or YOGA
Ultimate sources for relaxation and upper/lower body fitness. Not to
mention great fun!
SAFETY while working out is important. A good rule of thumb to follow when exercising is: "If you can't hold a conversation without gasping for air, you're overdoing it!" Slow down and return to exercising later.
You can alter your favorite workout session in a similar fashion to those described above.
Remember, that 10 minutes A DAY is better than nothing at all!
