Trying to make time for a workout might seem like a daunting task, but it’s one that can help you stay fit and healthy. A quick 10-minute routine is often all that’s needed to get your blood pumping, muscles working and body feeling more energized, no matter where you are or what time of day it is.
YouTube has a plethora of at-home exercise videos, so you can easily find something to suit your fitness level and schedule. From HIIT to yoga, the videos will help you meet your fitness goals at home without having to travel or invest in gym equipment.
The 10-Minute Workout for the Busy Person
When life gets a little hectic, squeezing in a quick workout can be a sanity-saver and an essential part of keeping yourself healthy. It can also provide a way to kick start your day with some exercise that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for whatever the next day brings.
This bodyweight workout for 10 minutes uses a variety of movements to target your core, lower back, pelvic floor and hips. It’s perfect for people on the go, or for when you’re traveling and can’t make it to the gym.
Cardio with a Core Challenge
This quick workout incorporates a variety of bodyweight exercises that work your entire core (abs, back and shoulders). It also includes some easy-to-perform movements to elevate your heart rate for an effective cardio blast.
The core of this workout is the abs, which is why it’s a great choice for those looking to boost their core strength and build stability. The exercises include a full-body plank, flat out burpees, skier abs and touchdown lunges to elevate your heart rate and work your rectus abdominus, obliques, and quads.
Group HIIT’s 10-Minute Workout for the Home
This cardio workout for home features exercises that are designed to be performed more quickly or slower, depending on your personal preferences. The video starts with warm-ups and then works to challenge your strength, cardio and endurance with each move.
It’s a smart way to hit the gym without leaving your home, and you can even use the same workout at different times of the day to maximize your fitness gains.
Getting in 10 minutes of cardiovascular exercise three or more times a day has been shown to give you the same health benefits as a 30-minute nonstop routine, according to Harris. You can do this by going for a brisk walk, doing a set of jumping jacks or completing any other activity that gets your heart rate up and keeps your blood flowing.
