10 Minute Morning Weight Loss Workout

This 10 minute morning workout is a great start in the day and can be an easy tool for weight loss.

The success of this challenge is probably based on the short workout time. Because it takes only 10 minutes per day, your motivation to stick with the exercise routine will be a lot higher.

How to do the 10 Minute Morning Weight Loss Workout

Please familiarize yourself with the routine first. If you are a beginner try to imitate every exercise according to the images first before you start the routine.

Start the exercise with 36 butt kicks then walk 25 steps in place. If you feel like it, also jog in place. Then do 36 high knees followed by walking. Work your way through the exercises until the end then repeat it all again. Finish with the stretches provided.

For Beginners

If you can’t complete all of the reps per exercise, simply do as many as you can then walk in place. You can shorten the exercise and prolong the walking time. With time you will see that your repetitions will increase and you will walk less during the breaks.

Also make sure not to use any weights for the beginning. You can start out by only doing one round at a time and another round later in the day.

Familiarize yourself with each exercise before you start the routine and take note of the modification you can use to make each exercise easier.

For Experienced

If the exercises are too simple for you, simply increase the amount of repetitions and decrease the amount of walking between exercises. Additionally, you can start holding small dumbbells to perform the weight loss routine.

Hold your hands (with or without weights) in front of your chest. Lift knee sideways up and lean down towards that knee while pulling in the belly button. Switch sides.
