If You Only Have 10 Minutes, What Exercises Do You Do?
Although I am a rededicated morning exerciser, there are some days where I just don't get out of bed early enough to do a formal workout. It is very rare when I have the evenings to do a formal workout. I'm usually washing laundry, cooking dinner, packing lunches, getting Tiny Bubble ready for bed, or just spending time with the family. However, on the days I can't fit in a full workout, I want to do something. It's usually pushups. I always feel accomplished. I want to fit in something more. I was thinking maybe 55 pushups, 55 pull downs using my bodylastics, and 100 hip thrusts. I think that should all take under 10 minutes.
If you have only 10 minutes, what do you do to help yourself feel like you did something for the day?

Abs. Helps my lower-back problem and makes me feel tighter.

I do push-ups, squats, kettlebell swings, planks and jumping jacks. You could do a minute of each twice through.

How funny, just this morning I got up at 5 to use the toilet, and when I got back into bed I thought, "How the hell does Bubbles get up to exercise at 4 am?" I thought it was you, but I think there are others who exercise at 4 or 5. That, for me, would not be easy. Nor would evening workouts. Yes, I'm outing myself as a lazy exerciser.
To answer the question, pushups, planks, squats, rear lunges Eta: found some notes on a quick circuit, which I think I found here many years ago No rest between exercises Squats 10-20 Push ups 10-20 Reverse lunge 10 each side Plank 30 sec Close push up 10-20 side plank 20 sec each side Mountain climbers 20 total Rest 1 minute, repeat |

I like the Leah Sarago 10 minute Dance dvd, and other than that, ten mins of Leslie or Jessica Smith or, if I'm beat and am short on time: Joel Harper or Mirabai Holland or Stephanie Huckabee's PowerFit.
