What's ten minutes? 1/3 of a TV program, the time it takes to boil some pasta, a walk to the corner store. It's not a lot of time by any stretch and yet it can make a world of a difference to your results.
Adding ten minutes on to your workout routine will definitely add up. This winter I did just that to my regimen, lost 3 pounds and noticeably toned up.
Here are some figures.
for a 150lb person
Biking at 16-19MPH- 136 calories
Running at 6.0 MPH- 113 calories
Calisthenics- 51 calories
Weight lifting- 68 calories
Walking at 4.0 MPH- 45 calories
Even if this does not seem like much to you, multiply these numbers by how many times you exercise a week and then again by 4. You will discover that over the course of a month, an extra ten minutes is some serious calorie burning.
Ten minutes is really no time at all, so even if you are busy it's not a huge change in your routine to get you great results.
Add 10 Minutes for Great Results!
