Here is a list of some at home workouts to get your heart rate up if you can only squeeze in 10 minutes in a busy day. If you have a few times throughout the day to fit more than one segment...go for it. Just a little bit here and there really counts.
- Jumping jacks
- Jogging in place - lift your knees and pump your arms to get your heart rate up
- Plyometric lunges - Begin in a basic lunge position. In an explosive movement, jump, switch legs in the air and land with bent knees into lunge
- Ski hops - with feet together, jump from side to side, landing with knees bent. The wider you jump and the lower you squat into the jump, the harder you'll work
- Jump rope
- Skipping - you might feel silly, but it's much harder than you remember
- Step jumps - Stand in front of step or platform and jump onto it, landing with both feet (harder) or a staggered landing. Step down and repeat
- Squat hops - Stand with feet wide. Lower into a squat and hop forward 4 times, keeping feet wide, legs bent into squat. Walk back and repeat.
If you have 10 minutes for strength training try to hit the larger muscle groups to get the most out of your workout. You can do these easily while watching TV too.
- lunges
- squats
- pushups
- crunches
- tricep dips (while seated on a chair, move your feet out and support your body with your arms on the chair. Dip up and down bending your elbows.)
