10 Minute Morning Workout:
1. Just Get Moving! (2 Minutes) Keep it simple and just get moving; you can do jumping jacks, squats, mountain climbers, stair-stepping, or dynamic stretching. You want to build momentum here before your even awake enough to realize you're working out. Just 2 minutes of your favorite movement, or a mix of a few, will do.
2. Core and Mobility (3 minutes) Pick 3-4 exercises you enjoy for core and mobility and perform them twice through in circuit fashion. For example:
3. Strength Circuit (4 minutes) Again pick 3-4 exercises, this time focused on strength through the upper body (pulling and pushing) and lower body. Perform the circuit twice, doing 10-15 reps of each exercise. For example:
- Elevated Pushup (Pressing from the side of the sofa)
- Bent-Over Row with a Bag (Filled with objects of appropriate resistance)
- Rear-Foot Elevated Split Squat (Back foot on the sofa)
4. HIIT Finisher (1 Minute) Pick one exercise, and perform it for 10 seconds as hard as you can, then rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this process three times for 1-minute total. Using an interval timer app or clock is recommended. For example, choose one of:
- Mountain Climbers
- Stair Switch Hops
- Squat Jumps
- Ab Bicycles
