In reality, work dominates my time so I have been thinking of ways to compress sections of my life giving me more time to do fun things; one aspect was the gym, it’s important for me to keep fit and healthy but my gym sessions take up on average 1 hour and 25 minutes every visit! Most weeks this totals to over 5 hours of my free time.
I read an article recently that said 10 minutes of fitness a day is all anyone needs to stay fit and healthy, so I decided to create a workout routine based on crossfit, it’s a HIIT blast for 10 minutes every day. Benefits include:
- No more gym fees, the only cost is when I need to go swimming
- Time saved, over 4 hours a week, that’s 208 hours a year!
- Fitness levels are good if not better than before
No. 3 is true. I have never felt more fit and I have been doing the 10 minute workouts for 3 months now. I think I now understand I only have 10 minutes to train so I push hard every time instead of doing a steady workout at the gym. Follow this infographic and see if you get the same results.
