These are my personal favorite 10 minutes sessions. They are easy to do just about anywhere if you own a set of hand weights. You can find hand weights at Target, Big 5 or any sporting good store.
10 minute workout - 1
2 sets of squats (12 reps each)
1 minute cardio burst - Burpies Start off with feet together in a wide bent over hands on the ground position, kick your legs back behind you,(so it looks like you are going to do a push up), being them back forward to your starting position, then stand up, jump and reach for the sky. Repeat. This one is a killer
2 sets of lunges (12 reps on each leg)
1 minute cardio burst -Mountain Climbers Begin in a push-up position (arms lined up with the chest, legs extended out)
Keep the head in line with the body and the stomach muscles contracted throughout the range of motion.
Bringing the right knee to the chest and back quickly alternate to the left leg and continue this movement.
2 sets side leg lifts (12 reps)
Stand with feet together and hold onto a chair or wall for balance, if needed. Shift your weight to the right leg and, without tilting the torso, lift the left leg straight out the side. The foot should be flexed, and your hip, knee and ankle should be in alignment and pointing in the same direction (to the front of the room). Lower the leg without resting it on the floor.
10 minute workout - 2
2 sets bicep curls (12 reps each) 5-10lbs
1 minutes cardio burst -Hopscotch Drill Begin with the feet shoulder width apart With every move, you are going to be hopping forward
Start by hopping forward onto the right leg, then hop forward landing on both feet. Continue by hopping forward to the left leg, and then hop forward landing on both feet again. Continue alternating for 1 minute.
2 sets of Tricep Extensions (12 reps) 5-10lbs Standing tall, core held tight, hold a medium weight at one end with both hands overlapping one another. Take the weight straight up overhead with the arms next to the ears. Lower the weight behind the head until elbows are at about 90 degree angles. Squeeze the triceps to straighten the arms without locking the joints.
1 minute traditional jumping jacks
2 sets of shoulder presses - Standing hold weights in each hand (5-10 lbs) with elbows bent and weights next to the ears. Press the weights up over the head. Lower the weights, bringing the hands next to the ears. Make sure to keep your abs engaged and don’t arch your back.
Do 2-3 10 minute sessions daily! If you’ve haven’t been working out make sure to have the ok from your doctor before trying these or any other exercises.
