Fit in Ten

Crunched for time? Low on equipment? Need guidance? Ok, so we are in a rough economy and maybe a gym and especially a personal trainer may be out of the question. But a quick and no cost solution is here to rescue you.

We are going to use weight...body weight that is to get you fit in about 10 minutes.

Option 1: The in home workout
1 minute of jumping jacks
15 squats










10 push ups(modify if needed)










1 minute of the plank- Regular Plank- modified










20 bridges










15 reverse flys










***Repeat each exercise 3 times***

Option 2: The outdoors workout
Jog or walk outside around 1 or 2 blocks (which ever you are comfortable with. Just make sure it is a complete square). On each corner perform this series of exercises:

10 squats
5 push ups
10 step lunges - alternate legs











You want to jog or walk to each corner. Before reaching your final destination, finish the last set of exercises and walk the last stretch back. This is to give your heart rate a chance to settle down and recover.

And remember to stretch after any physical activity, it helps to maintain muscle and joint flexibility so injuries do not occur. It is also helpful in muscle recovery following any physical activity.

As always, thanks for reading

God Bless
