Adulthood is wrought with necessary evils, but I would say the need to exercise is my least favorite. I love being active – taking a walk in our neighborhood, playing tag with my son, doing anything in heels – but gym time is not enjoyable. So when I decided to add a little movement to my morning routine, I knew it needed to be fast and effective.
Including 10 minutes of exercise a day can make a huge difference in your health without upending your daily schedule, so I took the challenge. Here are five workouts that made me sweat, but only for a 10 minutes.
Please Note: You should consult a doctor before engaging in any new exercise routine or fitness plan. The doc knows best, so get a checkup before you go full force with any of these workouts.

If you can’t do the sprints, just run in place or insert any other jogging movement that works for you. The key is to keep the heart rate up.
Dance It Out

Unleash your inner Beyonce and burn the calories too. Keep the knees bent during the dance moves and I promise your legs will burn like crazy.
