That's the consensus among exercise researchers, who are finding full benefits from shorter/custom workout circuits.
I am a strong proponent of Circuit Training as well because changing up and constantly "tricking" your body with new routines will actually help you to see faster results !
In fact, some research has suggested that a short blast of intense exercise can boost metabolism for the entire day more effectively than a workout that's slow and steady. And other doctors stress that a regular exercise practice, even if it's just 10 minutes, can have a lasting impact on heart health and mental acuity.
But not all 10-minute routines are created equal, so below is a great short program just for you !
All you require is 7 - 8 lb barbells.
Complete the following three times through:
- 50 jumping jacks or burpees
- 15 body weight squats - using two barbells (one in each hand) lower into a squat and repeat
- 15 push-ups or knee push-ups
- 15 reverse lunges per side - you start in a lunge and pop back up to starting position
- 15 Tricep dips (using chair, bench or other elevated surface)
- Skipping - optional - try skipping for 15 - 30 seconds to get your HR up !
"Peace, Love, Fitness"
