10 minute whole body workouts are not easy. They are not supposed to be.
Comments I often get are "there is no way I can perform the exercises in those workouts" or "I will probably only be able to each exercise once in 10 minutes".
Another terrific attribute to this system is RELATIVE INTENSITY.
Everyone, and I mean everyone is at a different ability level and fitness level.
- Some are stronger.
- Some have never exercised regularly.
- Some don't have much stamina.
- Some feel like they need to lose weight before they can exercise.
- Somedays we feel great...somedays not so much.
- Etc.
It doesn't matter. Why? Because every exercise can be modified to be more difficult or much easier.
The days you feel like a million bucks...you might get 4 or even five rounds done in 10 minutes.
The days you don't you may only complete 3. You take what your body will give you.
In addition, you can also increase or decrease the resistance of any whole body exercise routine without adding weight. Your can:
- Increase or decrease your base of support (move your feet closer together or further apart)
- Go Bilateral (Stand on one leg or perform with one arm if appropriate
- Increase or decrease speed
- Less rest
Here's a bit of advice that was given to me along time ago -
"Before you can be great at anything you first have to be good. Before you can be good you have to start!"
Can you do 4 exercises, 10 repetitions each, and then repeat that for 10 minutes at your personal best effort?
I bet you can.
