We’re all short on time, but that doesn’t mean that we have to skip our exercise! Try this 10-Minute Training with 7 Quick Workouts for Every Day of the Week! In short-but-intense circuit workouts, you will challenge yourself with cardio, strength training, and stretching for a full body routine.
Sometimes when it comes to working out, you just want someone else tell you what to do, right? Less thinking…more doing!
That’s why I put together these 7 quick exercise routines, which will give you a solid plan that targets each major muscle group over the course of the week. We’ll get our heart rate up with some good old cardio 3 times per week, and add in some upper body, lower body, core, and stretching on the other days.
You can do these as stand-alone workouts when you’re crunched for time, or you can add them into your regular walking or jogging schedule for an extra challenge. As always, check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine, and be safe! Listen to your body and take breaks as necessary. Most of all, have fun!
