10 minute Workout! Ready, Set, Go!!

This is a perfect workout for anyone with an extremely tight schedule. You know those days, when almost every second is occupied, and you hardly have a chance to breath? You can squeeze this simple 10 minute workout into a busy day, do it anywhere, and feel good that you did something. This workout is intense, will keep your heart rate up, and work every muscle in your body,  challenging your core, upper  and lower body. The heavier the dumbbells the more intense you can make it. The key to this workout is:   YOU CAN'T HALF ASS IT! WORK HARD THE ENTIRE 10 MINUTES, PUSH YOUR SELF AND MAKE IT COUNT. Remember your time is precious, and if you are short on time, you've got to put in maximum effort on this one.

What you need:

Challenging pair of dumbbells, a timer, and a jump rope is optional.

Set your timer for 10 rounds

50 seconds work
10 seconds rest


Warm up a few minutes ( even if you are really busy- do some jumping jacks, jump rope etc to loosen up)

1. 50 seconds Man Maker combination:  Squat thrust, press up,  2 rows, biceps curl, shoulder press, Squat.... repeat for 50 seconds.

10 sec rest

2. 50 seconds High Knees or High knees rope skipping

10 sec rest


Repeat this 5 times for a total of 10 minutes. 

Do a quick cool down,  shower and you are off to seize the day!


See video below for the breakdown of the workout.
