I don’t know about you but some days I can’t make it to the gym even though it’s only 5 minutes from my Littleton acupuncture office. Still I know I need a total body workout and I like the idea of burn 100 calories in 10 minutes at home. The problem is it possible without being a super athlete. I know I’m not one and maybe you’re not either.
Are You Seeking A Total Body Workout?
I went on a hunt for a simple workout that didn’t require equipment and I can do at home on days when I’m in a hurry. If you only have 10 minutes you can’t pull out heavy machines or weights. In my research, I found some ads that promised 100 calories in 10 minutes if you – you guessed it ‘paid’ them money to learn more. I want something I can share with my clients and patients especially those coming in for weight loss here Littleton.
My Goal: Burn 100 Calories In 10 Minutes At Home
What I discovered and tried were a series 10 movements you do until you’re done. So the faster you move the sooner you finish. I don’t recommend these for my acupuncture patients who have pain and trouble with the high-impact or high-intensity workout. Although you can modify every exercise without a trainer to let you know what to change it could be difficult.
So let’s look at the different drills
- Butt Kickers: If you can’t get your feet up high enough just lift them as high as you can.
- Jumping Jacks: If you can’t do all of them start with one!
- Uppercuts: She says sitting on the floor though the video also shows standing – much easier!
- Hip raises: Believe in yourself and lift as far as you can. Soon you’ll be raising higher and higher.
- Renegade Rows: I modified these by leaning against the wall on not the floor until I could use our picnic table! I still can’t row on the ground, but that’s okay. It’s all about doing it right. Watch your form.
- Pikes: Start slow do a few and add more as you can. If you try to over-do-it, you become sore and will not be back the next day.
- High Knees: This is my favorite exercise; it’s so easy to do. Lift as high as you can and aspire to raise higher
- Mountain climbers: These can be fun once you get use to doing them. A hint keep your neck straight or you get dizzy looking back at your feet!
- Crab Touches: Definitely you feel your core muscles getting stronger as you do these.
- Push-Up Jacks: Don’t worry if you can’t do these on the floor. I do them either against a wall or sturdy table. Watch the video for more modifications.

This Is A Workout You Can Do At Home![Workout You Can Do At Home](https://denveracupuncturehealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/bigstock-Full-length-portrait-of-a-happ-61815521-200x300.jpg)
Acupuncture can help with weight loss and pain management though both should also include an eating program and fitness routine. When working with locals here in Littleton with acupuncture I believe in empowering them with an at home fitness plan. Losing weight doesn’t mean hours at a gym just think you can burn 100 calories in 10 minutes and get a total body workout.
