We know what you’re thinking: There’s no way you can get in a heart pounding, fat incinerating workout in just 10-minutes. That’s faster than most warm-ups, and less time than it takes many people to order lunch. And the way most people work out — plodding through endless sets of 8 to 10 reps with plenty of rest and water breaks — you’d be right.
But when it comes to building muscle and dropping pounds, the science is clear: Exercise density and intensity are much more important for weight loss than workout duration. Indeed, even just a single minute of all-out effort within a brief, 10-minute workout, performed three days a week, is all it takes to boost cardiovascular endurance and reap the physical rewards of much longer sweat sessions, according to a recentstudy at McMaster University, in Canada.
Now imagine what can happen if you push hard for all 10 of those minutes. In just a few weeks, you’d see a stronger, slimmer person staring back at you in the mirror. But don’t just take our word for it — experience the results yourself with 10-Minute Trainer, available exclusively on Beachbody On Demand.
In just 10 minutes a day, celebrity trainer Tony Horton gives you the moves you need to work your entire body, and work it hard. Still not convinced that 10-minutes is enough time to make you sweat buckets and shift your metabolism into overdrive? Try the ab workout below, and then see how you feel.
In this mini workout, Horton takes you through 20 exercises that target each section of your core — including your upper abs, lower abs, and obliques — while working every muscle between your head and your heels. If you don’t feel comfortable doing the main exercises, follow Horton’s instructions to do the modified versions, which hit the same muscles.
