What is the best short (about 10 min) but effective exercise routine for the morning? I don’t like getting up early, so can’t go to the gym before work.
Recommended AnswerAI SummaryA great 10-minute morning exercise routine could include a combination of bodyweight exercises to energize you for the day. Start with 2 minutes of jumping jacks to get your heart rate up, followed by 2 minutes of push-ups for strength. Next, do 2 minutes of squats to engage your legs, then 1 minute of planks for core stability. Finally, finish with 3 minutes of stretching to enhance flexibility and promote relaxation. This short routine can help you build lasting healthy habits and energize your mornings, even if you’re not an early riser.
For short 10 min, start with light brisk walk and do gentle warmup. There’s an effective warmup routine < 5 mins available on internet, post that you can perform bodyweight squats/pushups either together or on alternatively.
For the morning, I would just stretch and do an ab workout. Basically it’s just 60 second plank, 40 squats, 30 second flutter kick, 20 leg lifts, 10 staggered pushups, 10 regular pushups. Start with not weighted, but if it gets to be too easy, then just add 10 lbs periodically. As it gets easier and easier, add more weight. Another workout is just running (10 minutes is usually a mile).
