Recently I have start workout for 10 mins a day including warmup.

To go for an hour in the gym it's much harder because it take +30 mins to commute +15 min to shower. After 1 hour of gym I feel exhausted and I don't want to do it again next day.

But with 10 mins per day, I don't have to convince myself to do it, it's such an easy task and I feel better after doing it. I don't lose my time in commute and I do it every day which is much better than 3 times per week.

Most days I do 10 mins of meditation and with that I have two great habits that takes most 30 min from my time.

I have found cycling to be a good daily exercise. It becomes my commute so it takes no time out of my day also there is no way to give up. I can stop at any time at a gym but if I stop on my bike I still have to get back home.

I have a pretty brutal uphill way back home but I feel great after which makes me do it again the next day.

I miss cycling to and from work. I used to live 27 miles away from the office and I'd do that ride 5 days a week. Yeah it was 3 hours out of the day but the alternatives didn't add up to a whole lot less than 2 hours anyway so I didn't mind. But my fitness was incredible. I could jump on the bike at the weekend and do a hilly century no problem. I once did an Everesting challenge which amounted to 13 hours going uphill and I held several KOMs on local Strava segments.

But I had a bad collision which has kept me off the bike for 15 months now. When the doctors were attending me in hospital they had to double check my birthdate because they assumed I was 20 years younger. They wouldn't make the same mistake now -- I really feel like I've aged 10 years in that time.

Yep, it's great unless the uphill is actually on the way to the job, then it becomes not so great :-)

In that case I'd use an ebike. Still decent fitness but not super intence

Get a dog. You'll be forced up exercise everytime it needs to go. Whether you want to or not.

The Canadian government sponsored the development of the 5BX program, which is designed to give you a decent fitness level in 11 minutes per day.

Have you ever tried this program?

[melenaos]

No, I haven't. I bought an ebook about body weight training and I follow that. It is 90 sec warmup and after that it's 30 rest and 30 sec per exercise. It's about 10 exercises so it add up to 11 min.

The most exercises you would have encountered them in yoga, pilates or other gymnastics and are nicely combined so you wont get hurt and got bored.

Its nice to hear that 5bx claims max personal fitness with 10 mins too. That means that it might work.
