No doubt about it. We live our lives in the fast lane. More often than not, we find ourselves pressed for time to accomplish all the necessary activities to live a full life, be it for work, for vacation and for exercise. Thus, we tend to sacrifice one activity in favor of the others, often with the thinking that we can get to the discarded activity later on.
Unfortunately, it is exercise that is almost always placed on the backburner. After all, we rationalize that exercise can wait since you must take hold of career and business opportunities as they come your way as well as take advantage of vacation time. Well, this should not be because exercise has many health benefits that, in turn, will allow you to become active in work and enjoy your vacation.
Fortunately, exercise is now possible with a 10 minute workout. Now, even the busiest person cannot honestly say that they do not have 10 minutes per day to spare in their 24 hour days! Indeed, you have no more reason not to exercise and to benefit from it.
Similar results are achieved with longer exercise periods because of a method called super stacking, which Tony Horton developed in his Ten Minute Trainer. In essence, you can decide just how much time and effort you can devote to your fitness routine by stacking the workouts performed on a daily basis.
There are 4 ten minute workouts that can be combined so as to create a multitude of other fitness routines amounting to 20 40 minute workouts. The trick is in stacking the routines so that it does not feel like you have spent 40 minutes on the exercises. This is very easy as the product itself outlines the way the super stacking technique can be achieved in the comfort of your own home.
As per the author, the 10 minute workout combines all the exercises necessary from the fat burning cardio to the total body conditioning and toning and, finally, to the abdominal workouts. Now, contrast that with the 1 hour routines of other workouts.
Just to give a clearer idea of a 10 minute workout: You start with 10 moves in 10 minutes to condition, tone and sculpt the body from head to toe. You will then get in the fat burning zone where more active movements like punching, lunging and kicking are involved. The lower body movements, which also take 10 minutes, trim and tone the thighs and buttocks. You can also incorporate the yoga flex movements for longer, leaner muscles.
You will also be provided with a resistance band and a cardio belt for the exercises as well as a customized workout calendar. This way, you can plan your exercises around your busy schedule.
Well, of course, exercise is not all there is to good health. You should also eat the right kind of foods and adopt the right eating habits. When you have adopted both exercise and diet as well as the right kind of stress and sleep management, then you are well on your way to a healthier mind and body.
