I know You are busy but I am sure you can spare 10 minutes from your busy Schedule. And, even if you are managing several longer workouts each week, adding in 10 minute bouts of activity can help combat the dangerous effects of sitting for too long during the remaining hours of your day.
Here are few ideas you can print and pin it up someplace you can see everyday and follow it . Trust me your body and mind will thank you for it!!:)
1) Do some cardio shopping. Each time you head to the grocery store or 
mall, spend 10 minutes power walking around the perimeter of the store before grabbing a cart. Or You can just do some window shopping going from store to store .
2) Dance like no one is watching. Turn up your favorite playlists and dance your heart out for three full songs. Since most popular songs are about 3 1/2 minutes long, you won’t need a timer. (This is definitely one of my favorite ways to de-stress myself and burn off calories while having fun).
3)Skip and Play. Skipping is great cardio exercise and an excellent lower body toner! Try to skip forward and backward for full 10 minutes if you can manage.
4) Stretch it out. Take a 10-minute timeout and find a quiet place to stretch. Start at the top of your body and work your way all the way down with some of your favorite, feel-good stretches while focusing on taking deep, relaxing breaths the entire time.
5) Take a walking break during your workday. Walk or jog (or both) as far as you can for five minutes, and then turn around and head back. Weather not cooperating? Lap your home or office indoors if necessary. The view isn’t what is important; instead, focus on standing tall, pumping your arms and getting your blood flowing.
6) Do this Mini Strength Bout before hitting the shower. Set a timer, and do one minute of each of the following: 1) squats, 2) push-ups, 3) lunges ,4) crunches, and 5) back extensions, twice , for a 10-minute, do-anywhere strength routine that will pump you up and boost your energy.
7) Heading upstairs? Try this “stair master: routine: Walk up one flight of stairs, and at the top, do 10 squats. Walk down the flight of stairs and do 10 jumping jacks. Repeat as many times as you can for 10 minutes.
8) On the phone?Walk and Talk. Walk the length of the room you are in laterally (sideways), and then change arms/ears with the phone before heading back. (Make it harder by holding a squat position as you walk side to side).Funny Naa:)))
9) Jump to it! Grab a jump rope and practice different footwork with it for 10 minutes. Now 10-minutes of consecutive jumping is tough, so you may need to build up to it (especially if you haven’t jumped rope in awhile). Alternate skipping rope with marching in place as often as needed. Don’t have a rope at home? Just pretend. It’s just as effective! You can find Videos on the web showing different footworks for jump ropes.
10)
Clean up—and shape up. Most household chores double as a great total body exercises! Do as many “reps” as you can in 10 minutes of any of these activities: pick up and put away objects around the house, wash dishes, vacuum, sweep or mop floors, dust furniture, make beds, or fold laundry.
There you go , well you can come up with your own creative ideas on these 10 minutes wonder workouts ! 🙂
Take care:)
