10 Workouts You Can Do in 10 Minutes

(not including warmup/cooldown time, mm k?)

This is for all of my 10-minute workout warriors out there.

10 workouts you can do in 10 minutes

Back in the day, if I only had 10 minutes to sneak in a workout, that usually meant my workout was canceled.

I didn’t know that there’s a lot you can accomplish in 10 short minutes, and that there are benefits to splitting up your workout if you don’t have a large time chunk.

Here are 10 workouts you complete in 10 minutes, for the occasions your day gets a little crazy, or if you’d like a short workout to energize your afternoon. These are not collection of previously-posted workouts- all new stuff, just for youuuuuu. 🙂 If you find yourself with extra time, feel free to repeat them or mix and match. The possibilities are endless!!

Please keep in mind that these do not include warmup or cooldown time, and it’s important to make sure that your body is prepared to exercise, and your heart rate recovers safely afterwards. Allow 5-10 minutes for warmup and at least 5 minutes to cool down. As always, check with a doctor before making any fitness changes and honor your body.

If you only have 10 minutes to work out, what do you do? Do you just skip it? (I won’t judge haha)

    I usually work out much more efficiently when I know I only have a short time, you can do a lot of quality things within 10 mins, that’s for sure. I am constantly travelling, so workouts like these are so perfect, thanks, as always!!

    I’m definitely bookmarking this post, these are great ideas! Not gonna lie, if I don’t have at least 20 min, I usually skip working out :/

    I am intrigued by the row workout. I never use the row machine. That needs to change!

    Amazing write-up! It looks like a long list for 10 minutes, but the way you have described very exercise is fantastic. Thanks again for this useful post.

    10 minutes-do 10 kettlebell swings every minute on the minute. Hits your cardio but also works the shoulders, flutes and hamstrings.

    Great workouts. Short but powerful. You can do them alone or combine them.

    These are AWESOME! Wedding planning has left workout times brief, so these will REALLY help!
