Health Canada’s recommendations for adults are to “be active at least 2.5 hours a week to achieve health benefits.”
I usually start an exercise routine but don’t stick with it for long; the main reason being, “I don’t have enough time”. After searching and asking around, I have finally found a solution to a lack of time (and money!): The 10 Minute Trainer by Tony Horton. The name might sound familiar; it’s by the same trainer that created P90X. I first heard about it through a friend and seen it on TV several times before I finally gave it a try. I’ve been doing it for a few months now and it is amazing!
The 10 minute trainer comes with five different workouts: cardio, yoga, lower body, total body, and abs. Each workout consist of 10 moves in 10 minutes; each one of them being extremely effective. I’ve tried out a lot of workout DVDs but have had difficulty sticking with them because I get bored and they are too long. The 5 different workouts allow me to change up my routine and so far I haven’t gotten bored of it. The best part is that after only 10 minutes I’m sweating and sore the next day!
One of the down sides of this set of workouts would be the difficulty level. However, Tony Horton does show modifications for beginners. The high intensity in 10 minutes makes it doable because you know it’ll be over real soon!
If any of you are wondering, I’m not getting paid to say any of this! I just wanted to share a great way to incorporate physical activity into your daily lives without spending a lot of time or money.
Now, if you don’t want to give this a try, I recommend that you find some sort of activity that will appeal to you. The key is to start small (10 minutes a day) and work up to it.
Happy Exercising :)
