The Ten Minute Solution! Excuses Gone.

I wanted to let my readers know of a litttle experiment that I
just completed. I have a lot of people who tell me they can’t
seem to find the time for an exercise routine. Now we all know
that there are 24hrs. in a day and we all know that we do not
spend every minute of everyday doing something. So EXCUSES take
first place over priorities.

I also receive a lot of email regarding how long should I workout
and at what intensity. So what I came up with a little 10minute
plan to exercise on the hour every hour for as long as I could
feel motivated. Now this little experiment would be mostly for
people who work from home, retired people, or maybe try it on the
weekend for people who have to go to a job everyday.

From 10am to 3pm I would at the top of each hour exercise for 10
minutes. So if you add it all up It was (6) 10minute sessions
spread out over 5hours. But the key here is accumlative time
working out was 60 minutes. now the beauty of this regime is just
about anybody can get motivated and not get bored for 10minutes.

Now the exercise is unimportant but if you have a cardio machine,
treadmill, stepper, bike, gazelle, all the better. What I did was
set my treadmill between 3.2 -3.6 miles per hour and the incline
to level 7. So for 10 minutes I was working fairly hard and at
the end I would be sweating a lot. Now keep in mind I was walking
on tne treadmill not running. Depending on your condition adjust
the intensity so you build up a good sweat and are at 70% of
your maximum heart rate. anybody can do this.

Now what amazed me after doing this for about a month I got on
the scale the other day and lo and behold I lost 7pounds. Now I
did not diet or change any of my eating habits. So that was an
extra bonus when all was said and done.

The key factor here is even if you can only squeeze in a quick
workout every now and then for just 10minutes it ADDS UP over
time and before you know it 30-60 minutes a day is pretty easy
to do. Nobody says you have to workout all in one timeframe.
Short quick intense 10minute sessions can put you in a very good
workout theme as long as you are doing it with intensity. Do not
just go thru the motions.

If you set a goal like I did to just do it you may be surprised
at the results you will get. Now you may not be able to do it on
the hour, but what about in the Am before work, the PM. when you
come home from work, and right before bedtime. That would total
out to 30 minutes of daily exercise. Do you see how easy this is?

Just remember if you treat your body well it will treat you well,
if you neglect your body, your body will let you down. There are
no excuses for anybody. NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
