During the pandemic, everyone was exercising and had become health conscious. But now that were back to our old or normal routines, finding time to exercise becomes challenging, especially for people who are trying to lose weight. What if we say that all your body needs is a 10 minutes of attention every day? Surprised? Heres a 10-minute workout for weight loss.
But before you find the exercises, lets understand if doing short workouts makes any difference or not.
Having a no exercise routine is not an option if you are serious about achieving and sustaining your weight-loss goal. But can a 10-minute workout be sufficient if you dont have any time to exercise? It is obvious that a dedicated 30 to 1 hour exercise plan will deliver more advantages than a 10-minute routine. But something is better than nothing. Short workouts can help you lose weight, sleep better, have more energy, and many other things.
According to a University of Utah study, the short workouts you do during the day might add up to a lot. It was observed that women who included short bursts of high-intensity exercise in their daily routine experienced a drop in their body mass index. Even they notice a difference in their obesity! The most important tip is to up the workouts intensity; the duration of the session is insignificant.
Health Shots got in touch with Delhi-based fitness trainer Meenakshi Mohanty, who promotes holistic and healthy lifestyles, to find out exercises that you can perform if youre in a hurry and have only have 10 minutes a day.
Mohanty says, In todays fast-paced world, people often find it challenging to make time for regular exercise due to their busy schedules. However, it is crucial to keep our bodies active to maintain good health and avoid skipping workouts.
To help you stay active, we suggest these 5 exercises that you can perform in just 10 minutes:
Jumping jacks are a simple and effective exercise that can be performed anywhere without any equipment. They help improve cardiovascular endurance, strengthen muscles, and burn calories.

Push your body back up to the starting position and repeat for one minute, rest for 15 seconds, and repeat for three sets.
Planks are a popular exercise that targets the core muscles, including the abs, back, and shoulders. They help improve posture, balance, and stability.
To perform a plank, start by placing your forearms on the ground and aligning your elbows directly under your shoulders. Extend your legs behind you and balance on your toes. Keep your body straight and hold this position for one minute, rest for 15 seconds, and repeat for three sets.
Burpees are a full-body exercise that can help burn a significant number of calories in a short amount of time. They target multiple muscle groups, including the chest, arms, legs and core muscles.

Remember to start slowly, gradually increase the intensity and duration, and always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program. By staying active, you will improve your physical health, boost your mood, and feel more energized throughout the day, says Mohanty.
