Too busy for exercise?

...I've solved your problem.

How much time do you really need?

How much space do you really need?

How much equipment do you really need?

In a fitness world where people insist on jumping right to the machines before they can control their own bodyweight, the answers to these questions are:

a) 10 minutes

b) not much

c) very little

Think about the most basic bodyweight workout you could do right on the spot: Bodyweight squats and pushups.

Just go back and forth on those exercise for 10 minutes. That's no a bad workout. 

Now we could even make it better. Add the "prisoner-style hand position" to the squat to work our upper back, and modify the pushup either by putting our hands closer together or by elevating our feet.

Then go back to back on those two exercises for 10 minutes. Now we have an even better workout.

Or say you have a set of dumbbells, now you can do dumbbell split squats and dumbbell chest presses. You don't even need a bench. Just lie on the floor to do your presses.

Again, back to back with those two exercises for ten minutes. Make sure you do 2 warm-up sets. Don't worry, you'll still get in 3 hard sets of each.

Those are ALL great 10-minute workouts.

There just aren't enough excuses to overcome the variety of workouts you can do in 10-minutes with simple home gym equipment. Heck, you can even do the 10-minute bodyweight versions in your office. Or your hotel room. Or a park.

If you want more creative 10-minute workouts, including the TT 10-minute Torso Training that will fry your abs, or the 10-minute TT Arm Workout that will fill out your sleeves and define your triceps, grab the March 2007 Monthly TT Workout from www.TTmembers.com

Say goodbye to excuses and hello to results,

Berardi's Law
by Dr. John Berardi

If a food is in your possession or located in your residence, you'll eventually eat it. If you wish to be healthy and lean, you must remove all foods not conducive to those goals from said residence and replace them with a variety of better, healthier choices. If you know someone whose house is stocked only with optimal food choices and yet who is not healthy and lean, look under his bed.

CB says, this is so true. If you don't have kids, you have NO excuse to have junk in the house. Don't tempt yourself!
