A 10 minute workout isn't going to give you very much time at all to get a good workout in. I recommend 45 minutes to an hour for a good weight lifting workout.


But, I'm going to give you the best workout you can possibly do if you only have 10 minutes to spare.


Since you only have 10 minutes to workout, you don't want to spend a lot of time changing weights around and changing your set up. You don't want to have to use different bars and different equipment.


Doing so will only waste your precious time. So, you need a way to lift weights and get as many sets and reps in as you can in a ten minute period.


Since you only have 10 minutes, you are only going to be doing a few different exercises each workout. These exercises must be the absolute best compound exercises that work a great amount of muscle mass. Let's get to the 10 minute workout...


You will not find a better workout to be done in 10 minutes anywhere!

Day 1	Day 2	Day 3	Day 4	Day 5	Day 6	Day 7
Workout A	Workout B	Rest	Workout C	Workout D	Rest	Rest

So, you'll be working out for 4 days each week through the use of 4 different weight lifting workouts. Each one will only take you 10 minutes to perform.

Workout A	Workout B
Squats Romanian Deadlift	Bench Press Rows
Workout C	Workout D
Front Squats Lunges	Overhead Press Pull Ups

Okay, you now know the exercises you need to do for each workout. But, what exactly do you do for each exercise? How many sets and reps? Here's what you do...

	You choose a weight that you can do about 12 reps with for each exercise at the beginning of each workout. If you get more than 12 reps for the first set of an exercise, it's time to increase the weight. Once you've chosen your weight to use for the exercise, you will use that same weight for every set. You do a set for as many reps as possible. Go to failure. Set the weight down and rest for exactly 20 seconds. Do another set to failure. Set the weight down and rest for 20 seconds, and so on. Before you start each exercise, set the timer on your watch to 4 minutes. When the timer goes off, stop the set for that exercise.

Move onto the second exercise of the workout and set your watch again to 4 minutes. Follow the same protocol for both exercises.


The key to this 10 minute workout is increasing the weight whenever possible! If you got more than 12 reps the previous workout on the first set of an exercise, increase the weight! That's how you build muscle and strength.


Any versions of the exercises listed will work!
