-
Dynamic Warm-Up (2 minutes): Start by warming up your body with these movements to increase blood flow and mobility. Perform each exercise for 30 seconds:
- Arm Circles: Stand tall with your arms extended to the sides. Make small circles with your arms, gradually increasing the size with each rotation.
- Leg Swings: Stand next to a wall or sturdy object for support. Swing one leg forward and backward, then switch sides.
- Torso Twists: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms extended to the sides. Twist your torso from side to side, keeping your core engaged.
-
Strength Circuit (6 minutes): Complete a circuit of four exercises, performing each exercise for 45 seconds followed by a 15-second rest. Repeat the circuit twice.
- Squat Jumps: Start in a squat position, then explode upward into a jump. Land softly and immediately lower back into a squat.
- Push-Ups: Begin in a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground, then push back up to the starting position.
- Reverse Lunges: Step backward with one foot and lower your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
- Plank with Shoulder Taps: Start in a high plank position with your wrists aligned under your shoulders. Tap your left shoulder with your right hand, then return to the plank position and repeat on the other side.
-
Cool Down and Stretch (2 minutes): Finish your workout with a cooldown to lower your heart rate and stretch your muscles. Perform each stretch for 30 seconds:
- Forward Fold: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hinge forward at the hips, reaching for your toes or shins.
- Chest Opener: Interlace your fingers behind your back and gently lift your arms away from your body, opening up your chest and shoulders.
- Quad Stretch: Stand tall and grab one foot with your hand, bringing your heel toward your glutes. Hold onto a wall or chair for balance if needed.
- Seated Twist: Sit on the ground with your legs extended in front of you. Cross one leg over the other and twist your torso toward the crossed leg, placing your opposite elbow on the outside of the bent knee.
In just 10 minutes, you've completed a full-body workout that will leave you feeling strong, energized, and ready to tackle whatever the day throws your way. Remember, consistency is key, so aim to incorporate this workout into your daily routine for maximum benefits. You've got this!
