On finding time to train...

Since science has proven that three 10-minute sessions give us the same benefit as one 30-minute session, staying fit and strong should be even easier. For many of us, even finding 30 minutes to exercise each day can be a real challenge. Finding 10-minutes, three times a day should not be as difficult...

We must also remember that working out does not have to be in a gym or outdoors. We can exercise anyplace and at anytime! The most simple exercises will do.

Here is an easy 3 exercise example that I challenge you to try:

10 Bodyweight Squats
10 Pushups with hands on a desk or table
10 Jumping Jacks

Do this for 10-minutes and see instantly how much more energy you have! You will not be training to failure and will be able to repeat this a couple more times during the day. Do this for three days in a row and I guarantee your days will feel a lot different! You may even notice an additional boost of energy at the end of your work day that prompts you do do something active in the evening as well. Another added benefit is that you take your body out of the "work zone" and come back energized and more creative. There is an old saying that for every 10 minutes of exercise, you get 1 hour more productivity.

Give it a try! What have you got to lose?
