The PERFECT 10-Min Workout
Is just 10 min really worth it? Is it enough?
These final two weeks of the year are challenging for workouts for so many reasons:
👉 You might be out of time and don’t have access to your normal workout environment
👉 Maybe you’re entertaining house guests
👉 Perhaps your motivation is at an all-time low (January 1 is right around the corner after all…might as well wait and get started again then 🫤)
Don’t wait for your motivation to come back or the ideal situation to arrive.
Do something anyway!
Something short, doable and doesn’t require any equipment!
Give yourself 10 minutes…and you’ll feel that spark again!
You’ve got this!
JUST ONE THING

Will it create results?1,000% YES!
Your JUST ONE THING to Keep Momentum Rolling
Find 10 Minutes
Ok, it’s true that a 10-minute workout isn’t going to create the greatest physical transformation.
But…Here’s what a short 10-minute workout will do for you:
✔️ Stimulate your muscles and bones to prevent degradation
✔️ Improve blood & fluid circulation - in fact, 10-minute workouts are proven to be highly effective for reducing blood pressure!
✔️ Increase blood glucose regulation and digestion
✔️ Stimulate your nervous system and reduce stress
✔️ Improve joint lubrication
✔️ Dismantle your all-or-nothing mindset and create forward momentum (you need this!)
✔️ Boost your motivation
✔️ And so much more!!
The next time you try to tell yourself that it’s not worth doing anything if it can’t be a 45-minute sweat-session, read through those👆benefits again.

Perfect 10-Minute Full Body Workout
- “Prisoner” Split Squats (8 reps/side): Set up feet in lunge position with hands behind head; pull elbows back to engage upper back muscles. Sink down into lunge and stand back up.
- Staggered Stance Bent-Over W’s (10 reps): In same staggered stance set-up, lean forward extending arms down in front of you then pull back to create a “W”. Squeeze shoulder blades together with each rep.
- Bear Crawl Shoulder Taps (8 reps/side): On your hands & knees, lift knees to hover an inch off the floor. Then alternate lifting one hand to tap the opposite shoulder. Engage core to keep body stable through movement.
- Single Leg Bridges (8 reps/side): Lay on your back with knees bent. With one leg up, push through opposite leg to lift hips up into a bridge. Lower slowly with control.
- Lateral Skater Hops (8 reps/side): Leap side to side, “sticking” the landing before hopping to other side. Focus on balance and power.
Extra Tip: Once you feel confident about your technique, move from one exercise to the next as quickly as possible to get your heart rate up!
Did You Know...
- Creating momentum NOW with your fitness—rather than waiting until after January 1—increases the likelihood that you’ll be more consistent and successful in 2026! By A LOT!
- Not every effective workout should make you sweat. Training your balance, flexibility and coordination are relatively low intensity activities, BUT just as important for your overall fitness as muscular strength, cardiovascular stamina and power!
- When you’re really short on time, make sure to prioritize strength training over other types of workouts (like cardio) — it will be the best use of your time.
Until next week... Be strong💪
