Have you heard about this 10 minutes a day exercise craze? Apparently, it’s the new thing. And, for once, this is a “thing” I can get into. Who doesn’t have 10 minutes a day? Maybe people with children, or those in the medical profession, or line workers, or…
Ok, I’m sure there are plenty of people without a moment to spare. I didn’t really think I had 10 minutes, either, to be honest. So, I started with 5, and am now moving towards my 10.
What do you do with your 10? Some people do more in 10 than I do in my week. But, we’re all in different places, and without shame, I position myself quite squarely in the “beginners” column, thank you very much!
This is what I’ve been doing with my non-expert-informed, no clue what I’m doing, don’t try this at home, self every morning. I’m not a doctor, so please consult one before attempting any kind of exercise. My personal challenge will be to maintain this pace, or something close, when that special (every 28 day) visitor arrives this month.

Working Towards 10 Workout:
1. Basic Hatha Sun Salutation
2. Ankle strengthening exercise.
3. Weights: 5 pounds each arm. 10 Butterfly.
4. Same: 10 Curls.
5. Same: 10 Open the door and look at my chest.
6. Asanas: Current/Tree

And that’s about all I have time for right now. After this, I make breakfast. Usually, I make something protein-rich. I still need to regain my beforehand breakfast rhythm to get more protein-rich breakfasts in, but it’s going well. I feel stronger already, which feels so good. I really think the 10 minute plan is great for those just getting started. It’s tough to commit to a sustained time period, but 10 minutes each morning really seems to start my day off on the right foot.
Obviously, no one would pay for the opinion of someone with no credentials, who is only blogging for fun. But in the interest of full disclosure, no compensation was received for my opinion.

Enjoy your week! 
I’m all for short n’ sweet exercise sessions! It’s kinda liberating to break that ‘I have to be at the gym all the time’ mentality – let’s you focus on the more important things in life
Liberating is such a great word for it. People tend to over-complicate things, like “I must go to the gym to be fit”, or “I must have all this equipment to exercise”, when really, all you need is your body to start.
I also love what you said about life. Yes!
I especially like your disclosure

*Laughs* Thanks!
I love it! I agree, no need to be in the gym for hours everyday! Enjoy your morning routine
Thanks!
