Get More Fit By Working Out In Small Bits

Short workouts can make you fit even it you only have time for a little bit.

With the biggest obstacle to working out being  a lack of time, here are some tricks to help you along.

Forget the all or nothing attitude. If you only have 10 mins. this can help speed up your metabolism and when you add a few additional clips of 10 it may equal a real workout. The trick is to treat the 10 mins. like a regular workout. Warm up for one to two mins. followed by 10-15 exercises and then cool down for a min. or two.

You can also try to do three 10 min. sessions that hit either strength, cardio or flexibility. For cardio you can use the treadmill, elliptical or just walk for ten mins. For strength, try some light dumbbells or just a few sets of push ups or chair dips. Stretching is easy to do. It feels good and you can do it every day and helps you feel younger.
