The amount of time you take in performing an exercise has some impact on the outcome, but this is relative to the kind of intensity or load you lift. One may ask; is a 10 minute exercises able to produce any results? If you are exercising to lose fat, you will need to work out more, probably 30 to 60 minutes of cardios or aerobic exercises each day for several days in a week. However, if your goal is to tone and strengthen your muscle, as little as 10 minutes of workouts may be just be what you need. Discuss with your personal trainer during a Coquitlam group personal training and see which exercises you can do within a short time and still get considerable results;
Cardio workouts
Increasing the duration and intensity of exercises will provide the most benefits. A 10 minutes of doing cardio will probably not get you to fat burning zone for a long time, but if you engage in moderately to vigorously quick cardios for about 10 minutes, you may burn some calories and enhance your mood. You may consider exercises like jogging, jumping, belly dancing or brisk walking, which are cardio workouts that you could do anywhere.
Calisthenics workouts
If you want a quick but dirty way of getting toned and stronger muscles, you can consider calisthenics. Military style calisthenics could break a sweat in just a few minutes while using every muscle of your body. You may want to do a circuit of moves such as jumping jacks, crunches, pushups, lunges, and squats in order to cover a large group of muscles and get the blood pumping for enhanced circulation and metabolic rate.
Core workouts
During those times you have a hectic day or you feel lazy, a 10 minutes exercise targeting the abdominals and lower back may make you feel like you have accomplished something while also giving you some energy boost to get you through the rest of the day. Using resistance band or stability ball, can make the most of your 10 minute core exercise. Your body weight is also good in working the core.
