What Can You Do in Ten Minutes? Plan II

What is you have 10 minutes in one day to work out, or you want to just work out some steam in 10 minutes? I cannot imagine why you would not have more than 10 minutes in one day. But let us assume you are especially busy.

The best strategy would be to do some cardiovascular work to work out your heart and lungs, and some work on core muscles, arms and legs. If you do not know any of these exercises, search the blog list for them.

Here is one example:

Run in place quickly for three minutes. "Kick" your knees up to your waist each time.

Do 10 sets of 10 leg raises for lower abdominal muscles.

Do five sets of 10 triceps extensions.

Do five sets of 10 lunges with free weights. If you are at home without free weights, do four sets of 20 lunges with no free weights.
