If you want maximal Calorie burn in a short amount of time try this workout:
Run/fast walk 1 minute
Push ups 10 Repetitions
Repeat for 10 rounds.
Run or fast walk to an intensity of an 8 on a scale of 1 – 10. Take what your body will give you.
For your push ups…you can perform these however you want and to your own ability level.
Examples:
Hands on the floor
Hands against the wall
Hands on a bench or the sides of a couch.
Alternating hand position with each rep.
Alternating foot position with each rep.
Feet elevated on a chair or bench
Single leg push ups
Hands on push up bars
…I think you get the idea!
Another great time saving workout that will leave you feeling like you spent an hour and a half in the gym. I did this one after a crappy night sleep and on an empty stomach (only because it was “do it now or it’s not gonna happen”)
Complete this as a circuit for as many rounds as you can in 10 minutes.
Jump rope 100 reps
10 push ups
10 thrusters 30 lbs. dumbbells
*a thruster is in essence a front squat finishing with an overhead press – all one continuous movement.
Major 10 minute whole body workout with an emphasis on pushing. Heart rate through the roof and my shoulders were absolutely on fire – truth be told it took me 10:37 to complete 4 rounds.
Can you really get a good workout in 10 minutes? YES.
One of the most important tasks I have as a personal trainer is keeping my clients consistent. Workout consistency creates the foundation for everything else including your weight loss goals. Even if your desire is bigger, stronger muscles you will never come close unless you are consistent.
Is it easier for you to carve out 10 minutes a day or an hour to an hour and a half? You will get more done in 10 minutes with this 10 minute whole body workout than most people do in 3 to 4 traditional workouts.
Perform a workout like this one as many times as possible for 10 minutes and you be the judge.
