I had this emailed to me from eDiets. Id like to try this out to tone up and help lose weight. So I thought I would share! The Amazing 10-Minute Workout! By Scot Dawson
eDiets Contributor
This is a five-day-a-week workout designed for people on the run. It takes between 10 and 15 minutes. This will
kick-start your metabolism and introduce you to working out. The best part is that it can be done in the comfort of your own home with a minimal amount of equipment (you just need an exercise ball and some light dumbbells).
You can learn the basics of exercise and get started on building the body you have always wanted. However, to get the results you are really looking for, you also need to add cardiovascular exercise and have a
balanced diet.

PAGEBREAK Workout Instructions
Do the warm up for as long as it takes to get a little bit of sweat built up. Superset the first two exercises, then the next two exercises. The remaining exercises are done as a circuit.
Superset: A superset is two exercises done at the same time. Perform the first set of the first exercise, and then right away do the first set of the second exercise. With no rest, go back to the first exercise for the second set, and then to the second exercise for the second set. Follow the same procedure for the third and fourth exercises. For the remaining exercises on each day, complete as a circuit. Just follow the same pattern as a superset. Complete one set of each of the remaining exercises, and then start back at the top.
